Lalu berkatalah Yonadab kepadanya: "Berbaringlah di tempat tidurmu dan berbuat pura-pura sakit. Apabila ayahmu datang menengok engkau, maka haruslah engkau berkata kepadanya: Izinkanlah adikku Tamar datang memberi aku makan. Apabila ia menyediakan makanan di depan mataku, sehingga aku dapat melihatnya, maka aku akan memakannya dari tangannya."
Maka kata Yonadab kepadanya: Baiklah engkau berbaring pada tempat tidurmu, pura-pura sakit, maka apabila datang ayahmu melewati engkau, hendaklah kaukatakan kepadanya: Berilah kiranya adikku Tamar itu datang ke mari memberi makan aku dan menyediakan makanan di hadapan mataku, supaya aku melihatnya dan akupun makan dari pada tangannya.

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.
