John Gill Commentary 2 Samuel 13:29

"And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king`s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled." — 2 Samuel 13:29 (ASV)

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had
commanded
They smote 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 got up on his mule, and fled ;
creatures much used in Judea instead of horses, which, though they might not be bred, might be used ^F15 .
