Tamar, Abigail, Esther: A Thrice Told Tale
Although subject, time, place, and characters differ in these three texts, many of the plotlines and themes that appear in the narrative that addresses Tamar (Gen. 38) reappear in the narrative addressing Abigail (1 Sam. 25), and then also reappear in the book of Esther. This article points out those matters showing how this really is a thrice-told tale.
