1 And it is declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom”;

2 and the salvation on that day becomes mourning to all the people, for the people have heard on that day, saying, “The king has been grieved for his son.”

3 And the people steals away, on that day, to go into the city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their fleeing in battle;

4 and the king has covered his face, indeed, the king cries [with] a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
