2 Samuel 13:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ David sent messengers to Tamar in the palace. They told her, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house and make some food for him.” ⁸ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house. He was in bed. Tamar took some dough and pressed it together with her hands. She made some special cakes while Amnon watched. Then she baked them. ⁹ Next she took the pan and took out the cakes for Amnon. But he refused to eat.

He said to his servants, “All of you, leave me alone!” So all his servants left the room.
