10:013:030 And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings
           came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons,
           and there is not one of them left.

10:013:031 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the
           earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

10:013:032 And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and
           said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the
           young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead:  for by the
           appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day
           that he forced his sister Tamar.

10:013:033 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his
           heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead:  for Amnon
           only is dead.

10:013:034 But Absalom fled.  And the young man that kept the watch lifted
           up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people
           by the way of the hill side behind him.

10:013:035 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons come: 
           as thy servant said, so it is.

10:013:036 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of
           speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up
           their voice and wept:  and the king also and all his servants
           wept very sore.

10:013:037 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king
           of Geshur.  And David mourned for his son every day.

10:013:038 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three
           years.

10:013:039 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: 
           for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

10:014:001 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart
           was toward Absalom.

10:014:002 And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and
           said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and
           put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil,
           but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead: 

10:014:003 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him.  So
           Joab put the words in her mouth.

10:014:004 And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on
           her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O
           king.

10:014:005 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee?  And she
           answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.

10:014:006 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in
           the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote
           the other, and slew him.
