Context of 2 Samuel 3:32
30So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 31And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.

And all the people wept again over him.
