Beware the Crafty Friend

April 22nd, 2012 · No Comments

2 Samuel 13:3 (New Living Translation)

But Amnon had a very crafty friend…

There are some opening lines of stories that guarantee the story will not end well. This is one of those opening lines. Having a “crafty” friend is not a good thing.

It is not a surprise that this story ends poorly.

In the rest of this chapter, we learn that Amnon rapes his half-sister Tamar and his life ends when his half-brother Absalom murders him.

Lesson: avoid crafty friends.
