33 My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead."
33 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.
33 Now therefore let not my lord the king so take it to heart as to suppose that all the king's sons are dead, for Amnon alone is dead."
33 So my master, the king, mustn't make things worse than they are, thinking that all your sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead."
33 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 only Amnon is dead."
33 No, my lord the king, your sons aren't all dead! It was only Amnon."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:33
Commentary on 2 Samuel 13:30-39
(Read 2 Samuel 13:30-39)
Jonadab was as guilty of Ammon's death, as of his sin; such false friends do they prove, who counsel us to do wickedly. Instead of loathing Absalom as a murderer, David, after a time, longed to go forth to him. This was David's infirmity: God saw something in his heart that made a difference, else we should have thought that he, as much as Eli, honoured his sons more than God.
