The One Year Bible - Day 148

Amnon rapes his half-sister Tamar. On the back of the previous story where David has pretty much done the same thing, we read that Amnon is not forgiven, never humbles himself and ends up murdered in revenge by his half brother Absalom. Can we deduce that he ended up punished because he did not repent? We cannot really say, we all know people that have suffered more or less because of their sin but there is obviously no specific cause and effect, some people simply suffer more than others.
