33 So don't let this bother you, my master; don't think that all the princes are dead, because only Amnon is dead,

2 Samuel 13:33 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:33

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.

2 Samuel 13:33 In-Context

31 The king got up, tore his garments, and lay on the ground. All his servants stood near him, their garments torn as well.

32 But Jonadab, the son of David's brother Shimeah, said, "My master shouldn't think that all the young princes have been killed—only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom's plan ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar.

33 So don't let this bother you, my master; don't think that all the princes are dead, because only Amnon is dead,

34 and Absalom has fled." Just then the young man on watch looked up and saw many people coming on the road behind him alongside the mountain.

35 Jonadab told the king, "Look, the princes are coming, just as I, your servant, said they would."
