2 Samuel 13:3-6

3And AmnonH550 had a friendH7453 whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3122, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093 David's brotherH251; and JonadabH3122 was a veryH3966 shrewd manH376.

4And he saidH559 to him, WhyH4069 dost thou, the king's sonH1121, get thinner from morningH1242 to morningH1242? Wilt thou not tellH5046 me? And AmnonH550 saidH559 to him, I loveH157 TamarH8559, my brotherH251 Absalom's sisterH269.

5And JonadabH3082 saidH559 to him, LayH7901 thee downH7901 on thy bedH4904 and feign thyself sickH2470; and whenH834 thy fatherH1 comesH935 to seeH7200 thee, sayH559 to him, I pray thee, let my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935, and give me foodH3899, and dress the foodH3899 in my sight, that I may seeH7200 it, and eatH398 it from her handH3027.

6So AmnonH550 layH7901 downH7901 and feigned himself sickH2470; and the kingH4428 cameH935 to seeH7200 him, and AmnonH550 saidH559 to the kingH4428, I pray thee, let TamarH8559 my sisterH269 comeH935, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eatH1262 from her handH3027.
