SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:31

Entonces levantándose David, rasgó sus vestidos, y se echó en tierra, y todos sus siervos tenían rasgados sus vestidos.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. Then the king arose, and tore his garments , etc.] 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, ( Genesis 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.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 30-39 - Jonadab was as guilty of Ammon's death, as of his sin; such fals friends do they prove, who counsel us to do wickedly. Instead of loathing Absalom as a murderer, David, after a time, longed to go fort to him. This was David's infirmity: God saw something in his heart tha made a difference, else we should have thought that he, as much as Eli honoured his sons more than God __________________________________________________________________
