2 Samuel 13:35-39 Common English Bible (CEB)

35. Jonadab told the king, "Look, the princes are coming, just as I, your servant, said they would."

36. When Jonadab finished speaking, the princes arrived. They broke into loud crying, and the king and his servants cried hard as well.

37. Meanwhile, Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur’s King Talmai, Ammihud’s son. David mourned for his son a long time.

38. But Absalom, after fleeing to Geshur, stayed there for three years.

39. Then the king’s desire to go out after Absalom faded away because he had gotten over Amnon’s death.
