Jonadab said to the king, "See, the king's sons are here; it has happened just as your servant said."

As he finished speaking, the king's sons came in, wailing loudly. The king, too, and all his servants wept very bitterly.

Absalom fled and went to Talmai1 son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But King David mourned for his son every day.

And the spirit of the kingb longed to go to Absalom,2 for he was consoled3 concerning Amnon's death.
