This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

2 Samuel 13:1-39

- Amnon, David's son, lusts after his half-sister Tamar, feigns illness, rapes her, then rejects and hates her violently.

- Absalom harbors hatred, has Amnon killed at a sheep-shearing feast, flees to Geshur, leaving David mourning both sons.

Acts 6:1-15

- As the disciples multiply, Hellenistic widows complain of neglect in food distribution, prompting the apostles to appoint seven Spirit-filled men including Stephen to serve tables.

- Stephen performs wonders and is seized by opponents; before the council he speaks with a face like an angel, facing false accusations of blasphemy against Moses and God.
