2 Samuel 13:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. When the king came in to see him, Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come in so she can make a couple of cakes in my sight. Then I will eat from her hand.”

⁷ So David sent Tamar to the house saying, “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare some food for him.” ⁸ So Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, who was lying down. She took the dough, kneaded it, made some cakes while he watched,^[a] and baked them.^[b]
