Exegesis
The object of hemitu {הֵמִיתוּ | hē-mî-tu} ‘they killed’ is marked by et {אֵת | ’ēt} preceding kol hanearim benei hamelekh {כָּל־הַנְּעָרִים בְּנֵי־הַמֶּלֶךְ | kol-han-ne-’ă-rîm bĕ-nê-ham-mé-leḵ} ‘all the young men, sons of the king’, ensuring clarity.
In context — 2 Samuel 13:32
Then Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, “Let not my lord say that they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by Absalom’s plan it was set from the day he afflicted Tamar his sister.”
