1 Joab was told, “The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom,” 2 and that day’s victory was turned into mourning for the whole army when they heard, “The king is grieving for his son.” 3 The soldiers stole into the city that day like men shamed by flight in battle. 4 Meanwhile the king covered his face and cried out in a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom! My son, my son!” 2 Samuel 19:1-4, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
