2 Samuel 13:6

So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

KJV

Accubuit itaque Amnon, et quasi ægrotare cœpit : cumque venisset rex ad visitandum eum, ait Amnon ad regem : Veniat, obsecro, Thamar soror mea, ut faciat in oculis meis duas sorbitiunculas, et cibum capiam de manu ejus.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἀμνὼν καὶ ἠρρώστησεν, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰδεῖν αὐτόν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμνὼν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐλθέτω δὴ Θημὰρ ἡ ἀδελφή μου πρὸς μέ, καὶ κολλυρισάτω ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου δύο κολλύρας καὶ φάγομαι ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς.

LXX

So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
