2 Samuel 13:29 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:29

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had
commanded
They smote him, and killed him, when he gave the word:

then all the king's sons arose;
from the feast, imagining they were all designed to be slain:

and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled;
creatures much used in Judea instead of horses, which, though they might not be bred, might be used ^F15.

2 Samuel 13:29 In-Context

27 Absalom kept begging David until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with Absalom.

28 Then Absalom instructed his servants, "Watch Amnon. When he is drunk, I will tell you, 'Kill Amnon.' Right then, kill him! Don't be afraid, because I have commanded you! Be strong and brave!"

29 So Absalom's young men killed Amnon as Absalom commanded, but all of David's other sons got on their mules and escaped.

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.
