David told Tamar, “Go over to Amnon's house and prepare him some food.”
So Amnon went to bed and pretended to be sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please, ask Tamar to come over. She can make some special bread while I watch, and then she can serve me the bread.”
When she got there, he was lying in bed. She mixed the dough, made the loaves, and baked them while he watched.
David had several buildings built in Jerusalem, and he had a tent set up where the sacred chest would be kept.
