33. Now 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.”
34. Meanwhile 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.
35. Then Jonadab said to the king, “The king’s sons have just arrived! It’s just as your servant has said.”
36. As soon as he finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons arrived. They lifted up their voices and wept, and also the king and all his courtiers wept very bitterly.
37. But Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. David mourned for his son every day.
38. So Absalom fled, went to Geshur and remained there three years.
39. Then King David’s soul longed to go out to Absalom; for he was comforted about Amnon, since he was dead.
