Deception: Amnon Deceives Tamar by Feigning Sickness 2 Samuel 13:6–14

So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.” / Then David sent word to Tamar at the palace: “Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare a meal for him.” / So Tamar went to the house of her brother Amnon, who was lying down. She took some dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked them.
