2 Samuel 13:1 - The Message

Some time later, this happened: Absalom, David’s son, had a sister who was very attractive. Her name was Tamar. Amnon, also David’s son, was in love with her. Amnon was obsessed with his sister Tamar to the point of making himself sick over her. She was a virgin, so he couldn’t see how he could get his hands on her. Amnon had a good friend, Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was exceptionally streetwise. He said to Amnon, "Why are you moping around like this, day after day—you, the son of the king! Tell me what’s eating at you."    "In a word, Tamar," said Amnon. "My brother Absalom’s sister. I’m in love with her."

2 Samuel 13:1 - Additional Comments

The births of Abalom and Amnon is mentioned in 2 Sam 3:2-5. They were born in Hebron.
Amnon was David's first born son (1 Chron 3:1), and his mother was Ahinoam the Jezreelitess. Absalom was David's third son (1 Chron 3:1-2), and his mother was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur.
This is the first mention of Tamar. Tamar had the same mother as Absalom, as Amnon mentions she was "my brother Abaslom's sister" (vs 4).
