David Hears About Amnon’s Death

³⁰ The king’s sons were still on their way into town. But King David got a message about what happened. But the message was, “Absalom has killed all the king’s sons! Not one of the sons was left alive.”

³¹ King David tore his clothes and lay on the ground.^[a] All of David’s officers standing near him also tore their clothes.

³² But then Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Don’t think that all the king’s sons were killed! Only Amnon is dead. Absalom has been planning this from the day that Amnon raped his sister Tamar.
