2 Samuël 13:5

Toen zeide Jonadab tot hem: Ga op uw bed liggen en houd u ziek. Komt dan uw vader naar u zien, zo zegt gij hem: Laat mijn zuster Tamar eens komen, om mij enige spijs te bereiden; zij moet dan voor mijn ogen gebak gereedmaken, en ik kijk er naar en eet uit haar hand.

En Jonadab sprak tot hem: Leg u op uw bed en houd u krank; als uw vader dan komt om naar u te zien, zo spreek tot hem: Laat toch mijne zuster Tamar komen om mij te spijzigen en het eten voor mij gereed te maken, dat ik het zie en van hare hand ete.
Staten Vertaling
En Jonadab zeide tot hem: Leg u op uw leger, en maak u krank; als dan uw vader zal komen om u te zien, zo zult gij tot hem zeggen: Dat toch mijn zuster Thamar kome, dat zij mij met brood spijzige, en de spijze voor mijn ogen toemake, opdat ik het aanzie, en van haar hand ete.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jonadab said unto him,.... Being a subtle man, he presently formed a scheme to relieve him, and open a way for the enjoyment of what he desired:

lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick; feign thyself sick, pretend that thou art so, by lying down on the bed, and making complaints of one kind or another:

and when thy father cometh to see thee; as he quickly would, after hearing of his illness, being very affectionate to his children:

say unto him, I pray thee let, my sister Tamar come, and give me meat; here he is directed to call her not Absalom's sister, but his own, the more to cover his ill design upon her:

and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand; pretending that his stomach was very weak and squeamish, that he could not eat anything which his servants dressed for him, and which he did not see done with his own eyes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Make thyself sick - “Feign thyself to be ill.” (Compare 2 Samuel 14:2.)

That I may see it - He was to feign that he could not fancy anything that came from the kitchen, but that if he saw it cooked he should be able to eat it.
