Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Amnon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the narrative involving Amnon is paralleled in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, where his name is transliterated as Αμνων (Amnōn).

Usage: Amnon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name.

Context: Amnon is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known primarily as the eldest son of King David. His mother was Ahinoam of Jezreel. Amnon's story is most notably recounted in 2 Samuel 13, where he becomes infamously known for his actions against his half-sister Tamar. Driven by lust, Amnon deceives Tamar into visiting him under the pretense of illness and subsequently violates her. This act of violence sets off a chain of events leading to his murder by Absalom, Tamar's full brother, as an act of revenge. Amnon's actions and their consequences highlight themes of familial discord, justice, and the complexities of King David's household. His story serves as a cautionary tale about the destructive power of unchecked desires and the ensuing familial strife.
