2 Samuel 13:31-33

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³¹ In response the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.^(A)

³² But Jonadab, son of David’s brother Shimeah,^(B) spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, because only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this^[a] ever since the day Amnon disgraced his sister Tamar. ³³ So now, my lord the king, don’t take seriously the report that says all the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
