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

So Absalom fled,.... This is the third time it is mentioned, and the reason of it here Abarbinel thinks is, that when he first fled to his grandfather, he used to stand openly in the court of his palace, and go with him wherever he went from place to place; but when he understood that his father mourned so for the death of Amnon, he was afraid he would send some person to lay hold on him, and take vengeance on him; and therefore he would go no more with the king from place to place, but went and abode in Geshur always, which was a fortified city, as it follows:

and went to Geshur, and was there three years: and never went out of it, until he was fetched by Joab, as 2 Samuel 14:23 relates; nor is there anything in 2 Samuel 13:37 disturbed and mutilated, as Spinosa r intimates, but the whole is very expressive and emphatic.
