And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom`s sister."}]},{"v":5,"w":[{"t":"And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand."}]},{"v":6,"w":[{"t":"So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let her sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."}]},{"v":7,"w":[{"t":"Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon`s house, and dress him food."}]},{"v":8,"w":[{"t":"So Tamar went to her brother Amnon`s house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes."}]},{"v":9,"w":[{"t":"And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him."}]},{"v":10,"w":[{"t":"And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand.
