And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David,
saying, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left!"
So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his
servants stood by with their clothes torn. Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah,
David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed
all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command
of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister
Tamar. "Now therefore, let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to
think that all the king's sons are dead. For only Amnon is dead." Then Absalom
fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and
there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind him. And
Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming; as your servant
said, so it is." So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king's
sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all
his servants wept very bitterly. (2 Samuel 13:30-36)
