Context — Absalom Flees to Geshur
34Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”
35So Jonadab said to the king, “Look, the sons of the king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”
36And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in, wailing loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
37Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day. 38After Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, he stayed there three years.Cross References

2 Samuel 13:36 Summary
In 2 Samuel 13:36, we see that King David and his servants were overcome with grief when they learned about the death of Amnon, one of the king's sons. This verse shows us that it's okay to express our emotions and to feel deeply when we experience loss, as seen in Psalms 42:3 and Ecclesiastes 3:4. Just like King David, we can trust that God is with us in our sorrow and that He will help us through difficult times (as in Psalms 23:4 and 2 Samuel 16:10-12). By looking to God and to His Word, we can find comfort and hope, even in the midst of great pain and sadness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the reason for the king's sons weeping and wailing loudly in 2 Samuel 13:36?
The king's sons were weeping and wailing loudly because they had just learned about the death of their brother Amnon, who was killed by their brother Absalom, as told in 2 Samuel 13:23-33. This event led to great sorrow and grief among the royal family and their servants.
How did King David react to the news of his son's death?
King David and all his servants wept very bitterly, as seen in 2 Samuel 13:36, showing that he was deeply grieved by the loss of his son Amnon, despite Amnon's wrongdoing, which is reminiscent of the sorrow expressed by God in Genesis 6:6-7 when seeing the wickedness of humanity.
What can we learn from the emotional response of King David and his servants in this verse?
The emotional response of King David and his servants teaches us that it is okay to express grief and sorrow in times of loss, as seen in 2 Samuel 13:36, and that our emotions are a natural response to the difficulties of life, as expressed in Psalms 42:3 and Ecclesiastes 3:4.
How does this event relate to the broader story of King David's life?
This event is a part of the larger narrative of King David's life, as seen in 1 Samuel 16:1 to 1 Kings 2:11, which includes his triumphs and struggles, and serves as a reminder that even the most powerful and godly leaders face difficulties and hardships, as expressed in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can process and express my emotions in a healthy way when faced with difficult news or circumstances, as seen in 2 Samuel 13:36?
