“Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.”
“Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. ”
“Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.”
“Then the king stood up and tore his garments and lay down on the ground. All his servants were standing there with torn garments as well.”
“Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.”
“Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.”
“Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.”
Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying: “Observe when Amnon will have become drunk with wine. And when I say to you, ‘Strike and kill him!’ do not be afraid. For it is I who commands you. Be strong and valiant men.”
Therefore, the servants of Absalom acted against Amnon, just as Absalom had commanded them. And all the sons of the king rose up, and each one climbed upon his mule and fled.
And while they were still traveling on the journey, a rumor reached David, saying, “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king, and there is not one of them remaining.”
And so the king rose up, and he tore his garments, and he fell upon the ground. And all his servants, who were standing near him, tore their garments.
But Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, responding, said: “My lord the king should not consider that all the sons of the king have been slain. Amnon alone is dead. For he was set against by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he raped his sister Tamar.
Now therefore, let not my lord the king set this word in his heart, saying, ‘All the sons of the king have been slain.’ For only Amnon is dead.”
Now Absalom fled. And the young man keeping watch, lifted up his eyes and gazed out. And behold, many people were arriving along a remote road at the side of the mountain.
