2 Samuel 13:3-5

3But AmnonH550 had a friendH7453 whose nameH8034 was JonadabH3082, the sonH1121 of 12ShimeahH8093, David’sH1732 brotherH251; and JonadabH3082 was a veryH3966 cleverH2450 manH376.

4And he saidH559 to him, “WhyH4069 are you, the king’sH4428 sonH1121, soH3602 depressedH1800 morningH1242 after morningH1242? Will you not tellH5046 me?” So AmnonH550 saidH559 to him, “I am in loveH157 with TamarH8559, the sisterH269 of my brotherH251 AbsalomH53.”

5JonadabH3082 then saidH559 to him, “LieH7901 downH7901 on your bedH4904 and pretendH2470 toH2470 beH2470 illH2470; when your fatherH1 comesH935 to seeH7200 you, sayH559 to him, ‘PleaseH4994 have my sisterH269 TamarH8559 comeH935 and give me foodH3899 to eatH1262, and have her prepareH6213 the 3foodH1279 in my sightH5869, soH4616 thatH4616 I may seeH7200 it and eatH398 from her handH3027.’”
