2 Samuel 13:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
2
But Amnon was so frustrated on account of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed too difficult to Amnon to do anything to her.
3
But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very clever man.
4
And he said to him, 'Why are you, the king’s son, so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?' So Amnon said to him, 'I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom.'
5
Jonadab then said to him, 'Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please have my sister Tamar come and give me food to eat, and have her prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see
it
and eat from her hand.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 13
2
And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her.
3
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
4
And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
5
And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
2
Amnon was frustrated to the point of making himself sick over his sister Tamar because she was a virgin, but it seemed impossible to do anything to her.
3
Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, a son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
4
and he asked Amnon, "Why are you, the king’s son, so miserable every morning? Won’t you tell me?" Amnon replied, "I’m in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister."
5
Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend you’re sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare a meal in my presence so I can watch and eat from her hand.’"
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
2
Amnon became so obsessed with Tamar that he became ill. She was a virgin, and Amnon thought he could never have her.
3
But Amnon had a very crafty friend — his cousin Jonadab. He was the son of David’s brother Shimea.
4
One day Jonadab said to Amnon, 'What’s the trouble? Why should the son of a king look so dejected morning after morning?' So Amnon told him, 'I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.'
5
Well,' Jonadab said, 'I’ll tell you what to do. Go back to bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, ask him to let Tamar come and prepare some food for you. Tell him you’ll feel better if she prepares it as you watch and feeds you with her own hands.'
English Standard Version

2
Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she
was
a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.
3
But Amnon had a friend whose name

Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother. Now Jonadab
was

5
So Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see
it
and eat it from her hand.’ ”
