שמואל ב, פרק י״ג, פסוק ל״ה

The moments of panic in the palace begin to fade as the true situation becomes clear. Following a watchman's report of a large crowd approaching, Yonadav turns to the king and identifies the arriving group as the king's own sons [רד״ק]. Their safe appearance confirms Yonadav's earlier assessment of the event. He points out to the king that his previous statements have now proven true [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. The fact that the rest of the brothers have returned unharmed serves as clear proof that only Amnon lost his life, exactly as Yonadav had predicted from the start [מצודת דוד].
