4 Meanwhile the king covered his face and cried out in a loud voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom! My son, my son!” 5 So Joab went to the king’s residence and said: “Though they saved your life and your sons’ and daughters’ lives, and the lives of your wives and your concubines, you have put all your servants to shame today 6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have announced today that officers and servants are nothing to you. Indeed I am now certain that if Absalom were alive today and all of us dead, that would be fine with you. 2 Samuel 19:4-6, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
