31 So the king arose and atore his garments and blay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 Then aJonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
33 Now therefore, alet not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead.”
Absalom Flees to Geshur
34 aThen Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind1 him.
35 And Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the king’s sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is.”
