Did David kill any of his sons?

In a surprisingly lengthy diversion, consisting of seven chapters (2 Samuel 13‑19) and apparently of no major historical or religious importance, Absalom, who was David's favourite son but played no prior part in the story of David, killed his own half-brother and much later was himself killed by King David. Absalom's only likely competitor as successor to David was Amnon, who had died at Absalom's hand after the rape of Tamar. So Absalom served David forty years, then decided to launch a coup against his father (2 Samuel 15:7). According to the Bible, David's entire reign only lasted forty years and seven months, so it seems most unlikely that the probable heir to the kingdom really waited for so long and then launched a civil war when David was near the end of his reign and Absalom's inheritance would come soon anyway. The story emphasises the beauty and femininity of Absalom, and of David's love for him. David, the great king who had never before backed away from a fight, was unwilling to fight Absalom, choosing instead to flee the city. Then, when a battle was unavoidable, David commanded his officers to "deal gently" with Absalom, and when the messengers came to tell David of their victory over Absalom, his first concern was whether Absalom was safe. David mourned for Absalom much more than for his firstborn son Amnon, who had been killed at Absalom's command.
