34 And Absalom flees, and the young man who is watching lifts up his eyes and looks, and behold, many people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.

35 And Jonadab says to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come; as the word of your servant, so it has been.”

36 And it comes to pass at his finishing to speak, that behold, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept—a very great weeping.

37 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourns for his son all the days.

38 And Absalom has fled, and goes to Geshur, and is there [for] three years;

39 and King David determines to go out to Absalom, for he has been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
