7. Therefore, David sent home to Tamar, saying, "Come to the house of your brother Amnon, and make a small meal for him."
8. And Tamar went into the house of her brother Amnon. But he was lying down. And taking flour, she mixed it. And dissolving it in his sight, she cooked little portions of food.
