And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 10 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Amnon follows Jonadab’s advice and pretends to be ill so that Tamar will enter his room. She prepares food under the appearance of caring for a sick person, but the situation reveals that Amnon uses his position to create a circumstance of vulnerability. The scene prepares the subsequent assault and shows that deception is a structural element of the episode, not an accidental detail.

Da sprach Amnon zu Thamar: Bringe das Essen in die Kammer, daß ich von deiner Hand esse. Da nahm Thamar die Kuchen, die sie gemacht hatte, und brachte sie zu Amnon, ihrem Bruder, in die Kammer.
Entonces Amnón dijo a Thamar: Trae la comida a la alcoba, para que yo coma de tu mano. Y tomando Thamar las hojuelas que había aderezado, llevolas a su hermano Amnón a la alcoba.
Amnón le dijo a Tamar: «Trae la comida al dormitorio para que yo coma de tu mano». Tamar tomó las tortas que había preparado y se las llevó a su hermano Amnón al dormitorio.
Alors Amnon dit à Tamar: Apporte le mets dans la chambre, et que je le mange de ta main. Tamar prit les gâteaux qu'elle avait faits, et les porta à Amnon, son frère, dans la chambre.
Allora Amnon disse a Tamar: Recami questa vivanda nella cameretta, ed io prenderò cibo di tua mano. Tamar adunque prese le frittelle che avea fatte, e le recò ad Amnon suo fratello, nella cameretta,
Então disse Amnom a Tamar: Traze a comida ao quarto, e comerei da tua mão. E tomou Tamar os bolos que fizera, e levou-os a Amnom, seu irmão, no quarto.
