2 Samuel 13:7

7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: "Please go to your brother Amnon's house and prepare some food for him."

2 Samuel 13:7 In-Context

5 "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be sick," Jonadab said to him. "When your father comes to see you, tell him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I can watch and eat from her own hand.'"
6 So Amnon lay down and pretended to be sick. The king came to see him, and Amnon told the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of heart-shaped cakes in front of me so I can eat from her hand."
7 David sent word to Tamar at the palace: "Please go to your brother Amnon's house and prepare some food for him."
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house where he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made heart-shaped cakes in front of him, and then cooked them.
9 She took the pan and served Amnon, but he refused to eat. "Everyone leave me," Amnon said. So everyone left him.
