What caused the break between David and Absalom?
The wheels started to come off the train when David's son Amnon raped his half-sister, Tamar. Tamar's brother, Absalom (Amnon's half-brother), was enraged by his brother's sin and eventually had Amnon killed (2 Samuel 13). This was a low blow for David, but the hits had just started coming.
