Rachel and Her Father

Judges 4:21 Jael murdered Sisera. She drove a tent-pin through his head with a hammer while he slept.

Genesis 38:15-27 Tamar prostituted herself and seduced Judah, the father of her late husband.

Tamar sold sex and was in Jesus Christ's lineage and bloodline.

Joshua 2:8-13 Rahab, the harlot, was a traitor to her people. She was a great, great grandmother of King David and a blood lineage of Jesus Christ.

II Samuel 11 Bathsheba appeared to be a willing adulteress.
