Absalom’s Revenge on Amnon

²⁸Now Absalom had ordered his young men, “Watch Amnon until his heart is merry with wine, and when I order you to strike Amnon down, you are to kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant!”²⁹So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his mule.

Summary

This verse describes the aftermath of Absalom's revenge against Amnon for violating his sister Tamar. Absalom's servants killed Amnon as part of the plan to avenge Tamar's dishonor. The tragic consequences of sin within David's family are evident here, showing the destructive nature of unchecked vengeance and the ripple effects of one person's wrongdoing. This event foreshadows the turmoil and division that will later plague David's kingdom due to the sins committed by him and his sons.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

The servants did as he commanded, whereupon the other king's sons all fled upon their mules. - Sa2 13:30. But whilst they were on the road, the report of what Absalom had done reached the ears of the king, and, as generally happens in such cases, with very great exaggeration: "Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."
