2 Kings 13:6
So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.

- 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.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- 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.

Haydock's commentary
Messes. Hebrew, "cakes, or cordials;" what might refresh the heart, and give an appetite. The queen of Perdiccas, of Macedon, baked bread for her servants. (Herodotus viii. 137.) (Genesis xviii. 6.)
