    The aim of this paper is the investigation of the global asymptotic stability of all positive solutions of the nonlinear difference equation \[ x_{n+1} = \frac{\alpha + \beta x_{n-k+1}+ \gamma x_{n-2k+1}}{Bx_{n-k+1}+ Cx_{n-2k+1}} \] where all the coefficients and the initial conditions are positive and \(k = 1,2,\ldots.\) This study requires the investigation of the invariant intervals and the character of semicycles of the equation. Some numerical examples are given.
