The second half of the the book of Second Samuel begins with the story of Tamar. It is not a story that we tell very often. It's a troubling story that shows us that in many ways the world has not changed very much. David is faced with the troubling fact that people he loves do evil things and reconciling his role as law-giver and father.
The story ends with Absalom usurping the throne and David having to fight to regain it, killing his son in the process.
The book ends with a census of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah
