The Life of Amnon*

Start — 2 Samuel 3:2. The year of Amnon (firstborn son of King David)'s birth is the year David's reign began in Hebron (2951) + 1 year (hypothesis) = 2952
End — 2 Samuel 13:29. The year of Amnon (firstborn son of King David)'s death (2970) is the year Absalom had him killed and then fled to Geshur = 2970

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
