Then David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, “Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.”
So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.”
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
Then David made houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
