2 Samuel 13:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 13:30

And it came to pass while they were in the way
On their road homewards, before they got to Jerusalem:

that tidings came to David;
perhaps brought by one who was at the entertainment, who upon seeing Amnon smitten, immediately rose up and fled with the news of it to David:

saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of
them left;
which he might suppose was the design of Absalom, and was done before that time; however, so it was ordered in Providence, that David, that rejoiced at the news of the death of Uriah, might be terrified with the tidings of the death of all his sons; and for a while it was as if it was really so, which occasioned the following behaviour in him.

2 Samuel 13:30 In-Context

28 Absalão ordenou aos seus homens: “Ouçam! Quando Amnom estiver embriagado de vinho e eu disser: ‘Matem Amnom!’, vocês o matarão. Não tenham medo; eu assumo a responsabilidade. Sejam fortes e corajosos!”

29 Assim os homens de Absalão mataram Amnom, obedecendo às suas ordens. Então todos os filhos do rei montaram em suas mulas e fugiram.

30 Estando eles ainda a caminho, chegou a seguinte notícia ao rei: “Absalão matou todos os teus filhos; nenhum deles escapou”.

31 O rei levantou-se, rasgou as suas vestes, prostrou-se com o rosto em terra, e todos os conselheiros que estavam com ele também rasgaram as vestes.

32 Mas Jonadabe, filho de Simeia, irmão de Davi, disse: “Não pense o meu senhor que mataram todos os seus filhos. Somente Amnom foi morto. Essa era a intenção de Absalão desde o dia em que Amnom violentou Tamar, irmã dele.
