2 Samuel 19:1-8

1And it was told Joab, Behold, the kingH4428 weepeth and mourneth for AbsalomH53. 2And the victory that day was turned into mourningH56 unto all the people; for the people heard say that day, The kingH4428 grieveth for his son. 3And the peopleH5971 gat them by stealth that dayH3117 into the city, as peopleH5971 that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 4And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son! 5And Joab came into the house to the kingH4428, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the facesH6440 of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines; 6in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this dayH3117, that princes and servantsH5650 are nought unto thee: for this dayH3117 I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this dayH3117, then it had pleased thee well. 7Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servantsH5650; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now. 8Then the king aroseH6965, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, sayingH1696, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate: and all the people cameH935 before the king.

NowH6258 Israel had fled every manH376 to his tent.
