2 Samuel 13:7-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. David sent word to Tamar at the palace: "Please go to your brother Amnon’s house and prepare some food for him."

8. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house where he was lying down. She took dough, kneaded it, made heart-shaped cakes in front of him, and then cooked them.

9. She took the pan and served Amnon, but he refused to eat."Everyone leave me," Amnon said. So everyone left him.

10. Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom so I can eat from your hand." So Tamar took the heart-shaped cakes she had made and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
