1 And it was told Joab: 'Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.' 2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard say that day: 'The king grieveth for his son.' 3 And the people got them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 4 And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice: 'O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!' 2 Samuel 19:1-4, JPS Tanakh 1917.
