2 Samuel 3:31-35

31And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097, and to all the peopleH5971 that were with him, Rend your clothesH899, and girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, and mournH5594 before AbnerH74. And kingH4428 DavidH1732 followed the bier. 32And they buriedH6912 AbnerH74 in HebronH2275: and the kingH4428 liftedH5375 up his voiceH6963, and weptH1058 at the graveH6913 of AbnerH74; and all the peopleH5971 weptH1058. 33And the kingH4428 lamented for AbnerH74, and saidH559,

Should AbnerH74 dieH4191 as a foolH5036 dieth?34Thy handsH3027 were not boundH631, nor thy feetH7272 put into fettersH5178:As a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fallH5307.

And all the peopleH5971 weptH1058 again over him. 35And all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to cause DavidH1732 to eatH1262 breadH3899 while it was yetH5750 dayH3117; but DavidH1732 sware, sayingH559, GodH430 do so to me, and more also, if I tasteH2938 breadH3899, or aught else, till the sunH8121 be down.
