2 Samuel 13:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Jonadab advised him, “Lie down and pretend to be sick. When your father visits you, ask him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat that she prepares especially for me,[a] and after she makes dinner for me, let her feed it to me personally.’”[b]
6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came to visit him, Amnon asked the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make some of her bread especially for me,[c] so she can feed it to me personally.”[d]
7 So David sent for Tamar back at the palace, telling her, “Please go to your brother Amnon’s home and prepare some food for him.”
