So David sent word to Tamar in the palace: “Go to Amnon's house and fix him some food.”
So Amnon pretended that he was sick and went to bed. King David went to see him, and Amnon said to him, “Please let Tamar come and make a few cakes here where I can see her, and then serve them to me herself.”
She went there and found him in bed. She took some dough, prepared it, and made some cakes there where he could see her. Then she baked the cakes
For his own use, David built houses in David's City. He also prepared a place for God's Covenant Box and put up a tent for it.
