2 Samuel 13:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ So Amnon lay down in bed and pretended to be sick. King David came in to see Amnon. He said to King David, “Please let my sister Tamar come in. Let her make two cakes for me while I watch. Then I can eat from her hands.”

⁷ David sent messengers to Tamar’s house. They told her, “Go to your brother Amnon’s house and make some food for him.”

⁸ So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon. He was in bed. Tamar took some dough, pressed it together with her hands, and cooked the cakes. She did this while he watched.
