2 Samuel 19:4-6 ▼

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

5 So Joab visited the king at his home. He said, |Today you have embarrassed all your servants who have saved your life this day, as well as the lives of your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your concubines.

6 You seem to love your enemies and hate your friends! For you have as much as declared today that leaders and servants don't matter to you. I realize now that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, it would be all right with you.
