Her story starts with not one but two wicked husbands, it continues with a sex scandal and it ends with the birth of illegitimate children. However, God did something unexpectedly incredible in Tamar's life and, consequently, her unlikely story becomes one of hope for us all. But her hopes were soon dashed by an evil husband named Er. The book of Genesis says he was so bad that God killed him. Tamar was then given in marriage to Er's brother Onan.
