Contextual Overview
30 And it came to pass, while, they, were yet on the road, that, the report, reached David, saying, - Absolom hath smitten all the king's sons, and there is not left of them, one. 31 And the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the ground, - and all his servants who stood by rent their garments. 32 Then responded Jonadab son of Shimeah David's brother, and said - Let not my lord say that they have put, all the young men - the king's sons, to death; for, Amnon alone, is dead; for, by the bidding of Absolom, was it appointed, from the day that he forced Tamar his sister. 33 Now, therefore, let not my lord the king lay to his heart such a thing - to say, All the king's sons, are dead, - but, Amnon alone, is dead. 34 Now Absolom had fled. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! much people, coming on the road behind him, on the mountain-side. 35 So Jonadab said unto the king, Lo! the king's sons, are come, - according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass. 36 And so it was, as he made an end of speaking, that lo! the king's sons, came, and lifted up their voice and wept, - the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceeding great weeping. 37 But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey unto Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David the king mourned for his son continually, 38 But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey to Geshur, - and it came to pass that he was there three years. 39 And the spirit of the king pined to go forth unto Absolom, - for he had consoled himself over Amnon, in that he was dead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart,.... Neither suppose it, nor be troubled for it:
to think that all the king's sons are dead: which was not to be thought, nor could any good reason be given for such a supposition
for Amnon only is dead; he repeats it again with great assurance, which seems to confirm the suspicion of him before suggested; though some think he said this not from certain knowledge, but by conjecture.
