Absalom's sister Tamar was raped by their half-brother Amnon but nothing happened to Amnon under the law, so Absalom killed him. Why didn't David act in this case, how could he not know what had happened with all the servants/slaves that served in the royal family's abode? Could David had felt a little guilty he did not stand up.

Yes, by Joab, in 2Sam 19:5,6.

By Absalom's order...possibly because he Joah knew Amnon deserved death under the law

So did Jehovah agree with joab?

A soft spot for Absalom? Why would David be condemned for that?
He wasn't condemned for having a "hard spot" for Bathsheba was he? Who suffered for that little episode? Her husband did and of course the baby that lingered to death for a week at the hands of Jehovah.
