2 Samuel 13:30-35

30While they were on the way, a report came to David saying, “Absalom has killed all the king’s sons and not one of them is left!”

31Then the king stood up, rent his clothes and lay on the ground, and all his courtiers were standing by with their clothes rent.

32But Jonadab son of David’s brother Shimeah said in response, “My lord must not think that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons! For only Amnon has died. For from Absalom’s mouth this has been determined since the day he raped his sister Tamar.

33Now therefore, my lord the king must not take the report to his heart thinking that all the king’s sons are dead—for only Amnon is dead.”

34Meanwhile Absalom had fled. When the young watchman lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, there were many people coming down the road behind him on the hillside.

35Then Jonadab said to the king, “The king’s sons have just arrived! It’s just as your servant has said.”
