2 Samuel 13:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Jonadab said to him, Go to bed and pretend you are sick; and when your father David comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me food and prepare it in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.

⁶ So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.

⁷ Then David sent home and told Tamar, Go now to your brother Amnon’s house and prepare food for him.
