2 Samuel 13:34-36

International Standard Version

³⁴ Meanwhile, Absalom had run away. While the young man standing watch was looking around, all of a sudden he observed many people coming down the road behind and to the west of the mountain! So the watchman left his post and reported, “I have seen men coming from the direction of Horonaim.”^[a]

³⁵ Jonadab told the king, “Look! Here come the king’s sons. This thing has turned out just like your servant reported.” ³⁶ Just as he finished his comments, the king’s sons arrived, crying loudly. At this, with tears overflowing, the king and his entire staff wept bitterly.
