2 Samuel 13:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ And Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food. And let her prepare food in my sight, so 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, “Please let Tamar, my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may receive food by her hand.”

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