We investigate the global asymptotic stability of the solutions of $X_{n+1}=\frac{β X_{n-l} + γ X_{n-k}}{A + X_{n-k}} $ for $n=1,2, ...$, where $l$ and $k$ are positive integers such that $l≠ k$. The parameters are positive real numbers and the initial conditions are arbitrary nonnegative real numbers. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the zero equilibrium. We also investigate the positive equilibrium and find the regions of parameters where the positive equilibrium is a global attractor of all positive solutions. Of particular interest for this generalized equation would be the existence of unbounded solutions and the existence of prime period two solutions depending on the combination of delay terms ($l$, $k$) being (odd, odd), (odd, even), (even, odd) or (even, even). In this manuscript we will investigate these aspects of the solutions for all such combinations of delay terms.

Keywords: Difference equation, global attractor, invariant interval, convergence, periodicity.
