2 Samuel 13:30-35

30Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, “Absalom has struck and killed all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left.” 31Then the king stood up, 1tore his clothes, and 2lay on the ground; and all his servants were standing by with clothes torn. 323And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, 4responded, “Let my lord not 5assume that they have put to death all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead; because this has been set up by the 6intent of Absalom since the day that he violated his sister Tamar. 33So now, may my lord the king not 7take the report to 8heart, 9claiming, ‘all the king’s sons are dead’; but only Amnon is dead.”

34Now 10Absalom had fled. And 11the 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. 35And Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons have come; so it has happened according to your servant’s word.”
