2 Samuel 13:32-34

International Standard Version

³² But David’s brother Shimeah’s son Jonadab reported, “Your majesty, don’t assume they’ve killed all of the young men—the king’s sons—only Amnon has died, since that was Absalom’s intention from the day Amnon raped^[a] his sister Tamar. ³³ Now your majesty, don’t be concerned about this rumor that all the king’s sons have died, because only Amnon is dead.”

³⁴ Meanwhile, Absalom had run away. While the young man standing watch was looking around, all of a sudden he observed many people coming down the road behind and to the west of the mountain! So the watchman left his post and reported, “I have seen men coming from the direction of Horonaim.”^[b]
