2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 Word soon reached Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for Absalom.

2 As all the people heard of the king’s deep grief for his son, the joy of that day’s victory was turned into deep sadness.

3 They crept back into the town that day as though they were ashamed and had deserted in battle.

4 The king covered his face with his hands and kept on crying, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
