2 Samuel 19:5-7

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.
