Amnon and Tamar. Only half siblings, no worse than Abraham and Sarah.
The Septuagint uses the word
agapao for his "love" toward her.
Καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ τῷ Αβεσσαλωμ υἱῷ Δαυιδ ἀδελφὴ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει σφόδρα, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῇ Θημαρ, καὶ
ἠγάπησεν αὐτὴν Αμνων υἱὸς Δαυιδ.
Tamar was even willing to stay with Amnon and be his wife, though he had raped her.
Is this story not full of perversion and unnatural lust and sin between the opposite sexes?
