Aber Jonadab, der Sohn von Davids Bruder Schima, sagte: "Mein Herr muss nicht denken, dass all die jungen Männer, die Königssöhne, umgebracht worden sind. Amnon allein wird tot sein. Von dem Tag an, als Tamar vergewaltigt wurde, war es Abschalom doch anzusehen, dass er entschlossen war, sich an Amnon zu rächen.
Was bedeutet das?
Jonadab, David's nephew, tells David not to worry that all his sons are dead, only Amnon is dead. He explains that Absalom planned this from the moment Amnon forced Tamar to have sex with him against her will.

Historischer Hintergrund
This verse is from the Book of 2 Samuel, written during the period of the Divided Kingdom. The author is traditionally believed to be the prophet Nathan, and it was written for the Israelites to understand the complex relationships and tragic events within King David's household.
Anwendung für heute
In modern times, this could be like a parent being falsely accused of all their children being in danger, when it's only one child involved in a serious incident. It's a reminder to gather all facts before making assumptions.
