2 Samuel 19:1-4 ▼

1 Joab was told, |The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.|

2 So the victory of that day was turned to mourning as far as all the people were concerned. For the people heard on that day, |The king is grieved over his son.|

3 That day the people stole away to go to the city the way people who are embarrassed steal away in fleeing from battle.

4 The king covered his face and cried out loudly, |My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!|
