2 Samuel 13:3-5

The Voice

Jonadab: ⁴ Son of the great king, why do you look so tired and run-down every day? Won’t you tell me?

Amnon: It’s Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. I’m in love with her.

Jonadab: ⁵ Listen, lie down in your bed, and pretend that you are really sick. When your father comes to check on you, ask him, “Could my sister Tamar come and make me something to eat here, where I can see it, and could she feed it to me?”
