Question

Amnon's incest with Tamar marks the beginning of

Options

A)
the intrigues for succession to the throne
B)
David's popularity
C)
the fame of Solomon's wisdom
D)
David's love for Uriah's wife

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

This question is asking what event marked the beginning of David's love for Uriah's wife. The correct answer is Option D: David's love for Uriah's wife.

The question is referring to a story in the Bible where Amnon, David's son, rapes his half-sister Tamar. This event leads to a series of events including Absalom, another one of David's sons, killing Amnon in revenge. However, this event does not mark the beginning of David's love for Uriah's wife.

David's love for Uriah's wife, Bathsheba, began when he saw her bathing on a rooftop and became infatuated with her. He then arranged for her husband, Uriah, to be killed in battle so that he could take Bathsheba as his own wife. This act was considered a great sin in the Bible and resulted in consequences for David and his family.

It's important to note that this event did not mark the beginning of David's popularity, the intrigues for succession to the throne, or the fame of Solomon's wisdom, which are the other options in the question.

In summary, the correct answer to this question is Option D: David's love for Uriah's wife. This event marks the beginning of David's infatuation with Bathsheba, which led to a great sin and consequences for David and his family.
