2 Kings 13:32
But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.

- Respondens autem Jonadab filius Semmaa fratris David, dixit : Ne æstimet dominus meus rex quod omnes pueri filii regis occisi sint : Amnon solus mortuus est, quoniam in ore Absalom erat positus ex die qua oppressit Thamar sororem ejus.

- καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἰωναδὰβ υἱὸς Σαμὰ ἀδελφοῦ Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Μὴ εἰπάτω ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ὅτι πάντα τὰ παιδάρια τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ βασιλέως ἐθανάτωσεν, ὅτι Ἀμνὼν μονώτατος ἀπέθανεν· ὅτι ἐπὶ στόματος Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἦν κείμενος ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἐταπείνωσεν Θημὰρ τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ.

Haydock's commentary
Mouth. Chaldean [and] Syriac, "heart." Aquila, "because Absalom was in wrath against him." He had resolved upon his destruction. (Calmet)
Perhaps he had expressed his intention to some of the court; and this Jonadab (by whose means the crime had been committed, ver. 5) had heard of it. (Haydock)
