Commentary

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded,.... They smot e him, and killed him, when he gave the word: then all the king's sons arose; from the feast, imagining they were all designed to be slain: and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled; creatures much used in Judea instead of horses, which, though they might not be bred, might be used (o). (o) Vid. Misn. Celaim, c. 8. sect. 1.
