Which of David's sons killed his half-brother for raping his sister?


Absalom

Fewer Words Version: Tamar's brother Absalom said to her, "Did Amnon have sex with you? Don't say anything, he's your brother."

So Tamar remained desolate in Absalom's house for the rest of her life. And Absalom hated Amnon for raping his sister.

Two years later, Absalom was having a sheep-shearing party, and he invited his brothers to attend.

At the party, Absalom said to his servants, "Wait until Amnon is drunk, and then when I say, 'Kill Amnon,' Kill him."

And his servants killed Amnon. 2 Samuel 13:20-29
