1 Then it was reported to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and he mourns for Absalom.”

2 So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, because the people heard it said that day, “The king is in mourning over his son.”

3 And the people entered the city surreptitiously that day, just as people who are humiliated surreptitiously flee in battle.

4 And the king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”
