2 Samuel 13:30-35

30Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left.” 31Then the king arose, 1tore his clothes and 2lay on the ground; and all his servants were standing by with clothes torn. 323Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, 4responded, “Do not let my lord 5suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the 6intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar. 33Now therefore, do not let my lord the king 7take the report to 8heart, namely, ‘all the king’s sons are dead,’ for only Amnon is dead.”

34Now 9Absalom had fled. And 10the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain. 35Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons have come; according to your servant’s word, so it happened.”
