2 Samuel 13:28-37

Then Absalom instructed his servants, “Watch Amnon. When he is drunk, I will tell you, ‘Kill Amnon.’ Right then, kill him! Don’t be afraid, because I have commanded you! Be strong and brave!” So Absalom’s young men killed Amnon as Absalom commanded, but all of David’s other sons got on their mules and escaped. While the king’s sons were on their way, the news came to David, “Absalom has killed all of the king’s sons! Not one of them is left alive!” King David tore his clothes and lay on the ground to show his sadness. All his servants standing nearby tore their clothes also. Jonadab son of Shimeah, David’s brother, said to David, “Don’t think all the young men, your sons, are killed. No, only Amnon is dead! Absalom has planned this ever since Amnon forced his sister Tamar to have sexual relations with him. My master and king, don’t think that all of the king’s sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead!” In the meantime Absalom had run away. A guard standing on the city wall saw many people coming from the other side of the hill. So Jonadab said to King David, “Look, I was right! The king’s sons are coming!” As soon as Jonadab had said this, the king’s sons arrived, crying loudly. David and all his servants began crying also. David cried for his son every day. But Absalom ran away to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur.
