News comes to David that Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and Jonadab says that only Amnon is dead

압살롬이 왕의 모든 아들을 죽였다는 소문이 다윗에게 이르고 요나답이 암논만 죽었다고 말함

2 Samuel 13:30–36: the text says, “While they were on the way, the news came to David, saying, ‘Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left!’” Then the king arises, and tears his garments, and lies on the earth; and all his servants stand by with their clothes torn. Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answers, “Don’t let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar. Now therefore don’t let 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.” But Absalom flees. The young man who kept the watch lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, many people are coming by way of the hillside behind him. Jonadab says to the king, “Behold, the king’s sons are coming! It is as your servant said.” As soon as he has finished speaking, behold, the king’s sons come, and lift up their voices and weep. The king also and all his servants weep bitterly.
