2 Samuel 13:28-36

28Then AbsalomH53 commandedH6680 his servantsH5288, sayingH559, “SeeH7200 nowH4994, 1when Amnon’sH550 heartH3820 is cheerfulH2895 with wineH3196, and I sayH559 to you, ‘StrikeH5221 AmnonH550,’ then putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191. Do not fearH3372; have I not commandedH6680 you myselfH595? BeH2388 courageousH2388 and be 2valiantH1121H2428.” 29And the servantsH5288 of AbsalomH53 didH6213 to AmnonH550 justH3512 asH3512 AbsalomH53 had commandedH6680. Then allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 gotH6965 upH6965 and eachH376 mountedH7392 3his muleH6505 and fledH5127.

30Now it was while they were on the wayH1870 that the reportH8052 cameH935 to DavidH1732, sayingH559, “AbsalomH53 has struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, and not oneH259 of them is leftH3498.” 31Then the kingH4428 stoodH6965 upH6965, 4toreH7167 his clothesH899, and 5layH7901 on the groundH776; and allH3605 his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 by with clothesH899 tornH7167. 326And JonadabH3082, the sonH1121 of ShimeahH8093, David’sH1732 brotherH251, 7respondedH6030H559, “Let my lordH113 not 8assumeH559 that they have putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 allH3605 the youngH5288 menH5288, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121, for onlyH905 AmnonH550 is deadH4191; becauseH3588 this has beenH1961 setH7760 upH7760 by the 9intentH6310 of AbsalomH53 sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that he violatedH6031 his sisterH269 TamarH8559. 33So nowH6258, may my lordH113 the kingH4428 not 10takeH7760 the reportH1697 to 11heartH3820, 12claimingH559, ‘allH3605 the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 are deadH4191’; but onlyH905 AmnonH550 is deadH4191.”

34Now 13AbsalomH53 had fledH1272. And 14the youngH5288 manH5288 who was the watchmanH6822 raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, manyH7227 peopleH5971 were comingH1980 from the roadH1870 behindH310 him by the sideH6654 of the mountainH2022. 35And JonadabH3082 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “BeholdH2009, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 have comeH935; soH3651 it has happenedH1961 according to your servant’sH5650 wordH1697.” 36As soon as he had finishedH3615 speakingH1696, beholdH2009, the king’sH4428 sonsH1121 cameH935 and raisedH5375 their voicesH6963 and weptH1058; and the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 alsoH1571 weptH1058 15veryH3966 profuselyH1419H1065.
