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.

27 But Ab'salom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

28 Then Ab'salom commanded his servants, "Mark when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, 'Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Fear not; have I not commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."

29 So the servants of Ab'salom did to Amnon as Ab'salom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

30 While they were on the way, tidings came to David, "Ab'salom has slain all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

31 Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants who were standing by rent their garments.
