34 But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and he saw many men coming on the road behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent. And the watchman came and told the king, and said, |I have seen many men coming from the Horonan road by the side of the mountain.| 35 Jonadab said to the king, |Look, the king's sons are coming. It is as your servant said.| 36 It happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that look, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept. The king also and all his servants wept bitterly. 37 And David mourned for his son every day. 38 And Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and was there three years. 39 And the spirit of the king longed to go to Absalom, for he was consoled about the death of Amnon. 2 Samuel 13:34-39, New Heart English Bible.
