2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

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

2 And the salvation that day was turned to mourning for all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king is grieved for his son.”

3 So the people stole away to enter into the city that day, as people who are dishonored steal away when they flee in battle.

4 But as for the king, he wrapped his face up. Then the king cried out with a loud voice, “O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
