31Then DavidH1732H413 orderedH559 JoabH3097H413 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 with himH854, “TearH7167 your clothesH899, put onH2296 sackclothH8242, and mournH5594 beforeH6440 AbnerH74.” And KingH4428 David himselfH1732 walkedH1980 behindH310 the funeral bierH4296.

32When they buriedH6912 AbnerH74 in HebronH2275, the kingH4428 weptH1058 aloudH5375H6963 atH413 Abner’sH74 tombH6913, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 weptH1058. 33And the kingH4428 sang this lamentH6969 forH413 AbnerH74H559:

“Should AbnerH74 dieH4191the deathH4194 of a foolH5036?34Your handsH3027 were notH3808 boundH631,your feetH7272 were notH3808 fetteredH5178H5066.As a man fallsH5307 beforeH6440 the wickedH1121H5766,so also you fellH5307.”

And allH3605 the peopleH5971 weptH1058 over himH5921 even moreH3254.

35Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH935 and urged DavidH1732 to eatH1262 somethingH3899 while it was stillH5750 dayH3117, but DavidH1732 took an oathH7650, sayingH559, “May GodH430 punishH3541H6213 me, and ever soH3541 severelyH3254H3588, ifH518 I tasteH2938 breadH3899 orH176 anything elseH3605H3972 beforeH6440 the sunH8121 setsH935!”
