He Would Not Hear Her Voice: From Skilled Speech to Silence in 2
                    Samuel 13:1–22

Abstract. This article aimed to reflect on sexual violence in the family through the narrative of 2 Samuel 13:1-22. Sexual violence in the family thrives in a patriarchal society structure. This article responded to the issue of gender-based sexual violence by conducting a theological reflection on 2 Samuel 13:1-22 through a feminist perspective. Therefore, this article voices the experiences and perspectives of women on the issue of sexual violence in the family as an effort to strengthen the discourse on the eradication of sexual violence in any form. This study revealed that gender inequality in the structure of a patriarchal society contributes to violence against women. Therefore, it is necessary to advocate for women victims of violence because they are in a powerless position.Abstrak.

The so-called Succession Narrative abounds in references to locales and architectural structures used by royals and their aides to their advantage in matters of private and national interests. This article considers two episodes, which feature individuals lamenting near entrance ways: in 2 Sam 13:1–20 Tamar, David’s daughter, laments on either side of the door to Amnon’s private quarters; and in 2 Sam 18:33–19:1–4, David laments over the city gate. Using studies on the intersection of place, ideology, and behaviour and analysing the bolted door and the chambered gate within their immediate contexts and a wider narrative space (i.e., the Absalom crisis), this article discusses the role these structures play in the construction of David’s reign.
