English Standard Version
2 Samuel 13:30-35
30While they were on the way, news came to David, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."
31Then the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the earth. And all his servants who were standing by tore their garments.
32But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, "Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day he violated his sister Tamar.
33Now therefore let not my lord the king so take it to heart as to suppose that all the king's sons are dead, for Amnon alone is dead."
34But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.
35And Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; as your servant said, so it has come about."
