This paper deals with a numerical solution of a second order boundary value problem with state dependent deviating argument. The presented method is obtained by approximating the second derivative by a second order difference operator and approximating the solutions at non-grid points by piecewise cubic interpolation. Second order convergence is established and a theorem about the asymptotic expansion of the global discretization error is given. The results are illustrated by some numerical examples.
