| Title: The rape of Tamar (2 Samuel 13) according to Josephus Secondary Title: EstB Volume: 54 Pages: 465-500 Type: Journal Article Year: 1996 Abstract: Sievers, Joseph in: JSJ 28.2 (1997), 219: "Begg continues his series of detailed comparisons of Josephus' Antiquities [here 7.162-180] with their biblical Vorlage. Josephus in several instances shows dependence on the more expansive text represented by BL and 4QSama rather than on MT. As usual, Josephus uses several rewriting techniques, generally geared to make the story more appealing and serviceable to his Gentile and Jewish audiences".
Avalos, Hector in: OTA 20.3 (1997), 511: "2 Samuel 13 tells of a double tragedy that befell the house of David, i.e., Amnon's rape of Tamar and Amnon's subsequent assassination by Absalom. B.'s essay presents a detailed comparison of Josephus' version of these episodes in Antiquitates Judaicae 7.162-180 with its Biblical sources, and addresses some overarching questions suggested by that comparison".
