28. And Aḇshalom had commanded his servants, saying, “Watch, and when the heart of Amnon is glad with wine, and I shall say to you, ‘Smite Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave.”
29. Then the servants of Aḇshalom did to Amnon as Aḇshalom had commanded. Then all the sons of the sovereign rose up, and each one mounted his mule and fled.
30. And it came to be, while they were on the way, that news came to Dawiḏ, saying, “Aḇshalom has smitten all the sons of the sovereign, and not one of them is left!”
31. And the sovereign rose up and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their garments torn.
