 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in into your brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed (children) to your brother.  But Onan refused, and so the Lord slew him also.  So Judah told his daughter-in-law to wait until his third son Shelah become of age and she may have him for her husband.  But after the child grew, Judah did not keep his promise. As time went on, Judah's wife died, and it was told to Tamar ,so Tamar had to rise up and disguised herself as a harlot and went to where Judah was and tricked Judah into giving her seed.
