2 Samuel 13:35 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:35

And Jonadab said to the king, behold, the king's sons come,
&c.] For as they came nearer, it was plainly discovered that they were the king's sons, seen on the side of the hill:

as thy servant said, so it is;
he seems to applaud himself, and exult at his penetration and foresight.

2 Samuel 13:35 In-Context

33 My master and king, don't think that all of the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead!"

34 In the meantime Absalom had run away. A guard standing on the city wall saw many people coming from the other side of the hill.

35 So Jonadab said to King David, "Look, I was right! The king's sons are coming!"

36 As soon as Jonadab had said this, the king's sons arrived, crying loudly. David and all his servants began crying also.

37 David cried for his son every day. But Absalom ran away to Talmain son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur.
