2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 It was told Joab, |Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.|

2 The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, |The king grieves for his son.|

3 So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.

4 The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, |My son Absalom, Absalom, my son.|
