In Genesis 38 the story of Judah and Tamar is strange and cruel. However, this twisted tale is actually a reflection of the politics of ancient Israel and tribe of Judah's rise to prominence.

Thanks for watching!

Great explanation. Makes sense because it says that God took away his Mercy from Saul (because of Saul’s actions).

I vaguely remember someone making a connection from this story to the tale of David and Tamar, almost as if someone wrote the latter as a commentary on the former. I’m curious if you saw anything about this in your research

Josef Sykora has a few pages on this in Unfavored. There'll be other references cited in there too for further reading.

Beware the sheepshearing festival. Judah and Tamar seal the deal at the sheepshearing festival. Absalom kills Tamar's rapist at the sheepshearing festival. And Abigail's husband dies from drinking too much at the sheepshearing festival. What does David and Abigail have to do with this? David has a sister named Abigail. Wife Abigail has an odd named child, who is otherwise unmentioned. Sister Abigail is mother to Amasa, a major player in the rebellion by Absalom. His father is in some manuscripts an Israelite, in others an Ishmaelite, and it says, oddly, he went into to her. Odd phrasing. Perhaps there is a rape of Abigail story overwritten, behind these tales. As far as evil people being used for great stories, Absalom's rebellion is a major contributor to the story of Jesus of Nazareth. Things I think unique to the two stroylines (JayNaz and Absalom) are Forgiveness at the Jordan River, A walk while being taunted, Death by hanging in a tree, speared in the side while hanging in a tree, location exposed by someone who was offered money, king of Jerusalem, victorious entrance to Jerusalem, Advisor killed himself by hanging himself, Advisor killed by gutting and wallowing in a field, and the famous false kiss of betrayal. The story is referenced heavily by second Zechariah, from which the gospel writers mined quotes to point the reader to the rebellion of Absalom.
