2 Samuel 13:32-35

32But just then Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimea, arrived and said, “No, don’t believe that all the king’s sons have been killed! It was only Amnon! Absalom has been plotting this ever since Amnon raped his sister Tamar.

33No, my lord the king, your sons aren’t all dead! It was only Amnon.”

34Meanwhile Absalom escaped. Then the watchman on the Jerusalem wall saw a great crowd coming down the hill on the road from the west. He ran to tell the king, “I see a crowd of people coming from the Horonaim road along the side of the hill.”

35“Look!” Jonadab told the king. “There they are now! The king’s sons are coming, just as I said.”
