Summary: We investigate the boundedness character, the oscillatory and periodic nature, and the global stability behavior of the nonnegative solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n+1}= \frac {\alpha+\beta x_{n-1}} {\gamma+x_n},\ n=0,1,\dots$$ where the parameters $\alpha,\beta$, and $\gamma$ are nonnegative real numbers.
