2 Samuel 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:7

Then David sent home to Tamar
Who perhaps was not in the king's palace, but at her brother Absalom's house, ( 2 Samuel 13:20 ) ;

saying, go now to thy brother Amnon's house;
who also had a separate house and equipage, being the king's son, and his eldest son:

and dress him meat;
such as he may desire, and his stomach will bear.
