Contextual Overview
30Now it happened while they were on the way [back home], that the [exaggerated] report came to David, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left." 31Then the king stood and tore his clothes and lay on the ground [in mourning]; and all his servants were standing by with their clothes torn.32But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, responded, "Do not let my lord assume that all the king's sons have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead. This act of revenge has been on Absalom's mind since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar. 33"So now, do not let my lord the king take the report to heart that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon alone is dead." 34Now Absalom fled. And the young man who kept watch looked up, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain. 35And Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming. It has turned out just as your servant said." 36And when he finished speaking, the king's sons came, and they raised their voices and wept; and the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly. 37But Absalom fled and went to [his mother's father] Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 38So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there for three years. 39And the heart of King David longed to go to Absalom; for he was comforted regarding Amnon, since he was dead.

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.
