2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 Joab was told, |The king is crying and mourning for Absalom.|

2 The victory of that day was turned into mourning because all the troops heard that the king was grieving for his son.

3 That day the troops sneaked into the city as if they had fled from battle and were ashamed of it.

4 The king covered his face and cried loudly, |My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!|
