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.

as they servant said, Heb. according to the word of thy servant, 2 Samuel 13:35

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jonadab said to the king, behold, the king's sons come,.... For as they came nearer, it was plainly discovered that they were the king's sons, seen on the side of the hill:

as thy servant said, so it is; he seems to applaud himself, and exult at his penetration and foresight.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The watchman, as his duty was, had sent immediate notice to the king that he saw a crowd approaching (see 2 Kings 9:17-20). Jonadab, who was with the king, was prompt to give the explanation.
