2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 Joab was told, “Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”

2 The victory that day was turned into mourning among all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king grieves for his son.”

3 The people sneaked into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

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