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.

2 Samuel 13:29 In-Context

27 But Absalom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. Absalom made a feast like a king's feast.

28 Then Absalom commanded his servants, "Watch when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, "Strike Amnon,' then kill him. Do not be afraid; have I not myself commanded you? Be courageous and valiant."

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

30 While they were on the way, the report came to David that Absalom had killed all the king's sons, and not one of them was left.

31 The king rose, tore his garments, and lay on the ground; and all his servants who were standing by tore their garments.
