2 Samuel 13:35
The watchman, as his duty was, had sent immediate notice to the king that he saw a crowd approaching (see II Kings 9:17-20). Jonadab, who was with the king, was prompt to give the explanation.
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.”
36 So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king’s sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.
37 But Absalom fled and went to aTalmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
