28Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”
29So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.
30While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
31Then the king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
