2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 It was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping. He’s mourning over Absalom.”

2 That day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the troops because on that day the troops heard, “The king is grieving over his son.”

3 So they returned to the city quietly that day like troops come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle.

4 But the king covered his face and cried loudly, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son! ”
