JFB: 2Sa 13:30-31 - tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons

It was natural that in the consternation and tumult caused by so atrocious a deed, an exaggerated report should reach the court, which was at once plunged into the depths of grief and despair. But the information of Jonadab, who seems to have been aware of the plan, and the arrival of the other princes, made known the real extent of the catastrophe.

TSK: 2Sa 13:31 - arose // all his servants

arose : 2Sa 12:16; Gen 37:29, Gen 37:34; Jos 7:6; Job 1:20

all his servants : 2Sa 1:11, 2Sa 3:31

Gill: 2Sa 13:31 - Then the king arose, and tore his garments // and lay on the earth // and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent

Then the king arose, and tore his garments,.... In token of extreme grief and sorrow, as Jacob did when he was shown the coat of Joseph, supposing him to have been slain, as David thought all his sons were, Gen 37:34,

and lay on the earth; on the bare ground, another token of mourning; so Job did on hearing the death of his sons, Job 1:20,

and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent: did as David did, in imitation of him, joining with him in expressions of sorrow; these were his courtiers, ministers of state, and principal officers in his household.
