Contextual Overview

³⁰ While the king's sons were on their way, the news came to David, "Absalom has killed all of the king's sons! Not one of them is left alive!" ³¹ King David tore his clothes and lay on the ground to show his sadness. All his servants standing nearby tore their clothes also. ³² Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, said to David, "Don't think all the young men, your sons, are killed. No, only Amnon is dead! Absalom has planned this ever since Amnon forced his sister Tamar to have sexual relations with him. ³³ My master and king, don't think that all of the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead!" ³⁴ In the meantime Absalom had run away. A guard standing on the city wall saw many people coming from the other side of the hill. ³⁵ So Jonadab said to King David, "Look, I was right! The king's sons are coming!" ³⁶ As soon as Jonadab had said this, the king's sons arrived, crying loudly. David and all his servants began crying also. ³⁷ David cried for his son every day. But Absalom ran away to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. ³⁸ After Absalom ran away to Geshur, he stayed there for three years. ³⁹ When King David got over Amnon's death, he missed Absalom greatly.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the king arose, and tore his garments,.... In token of extreme grief and sorrow, as Jacob did when he was shown the coat of Joseph, supposing him to have been slain, as David thought all his sons were, Genesis 37:34;

and lay on the earth; on the bare ground, another token of mourning; so Job did on hearing the death of his sons, Job 1:20;

and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent: did as David did, in imitation of him, joining with him in expressions of sorrow; these were his courtiers, ministers of state, and principal officers in his household.
