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!”

36AllH3605 the peopleH5971 took noteH5234 andH3190 were pleasedH5869. In fact, everythingH3605 the kingH4428 didH6213 pleasedH5869 themH3605H5971H2895. 37So on thatH1931 dayH3117 allH3605 the troopsH5971 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 were convincedH3045 thatH3588 the kingH4428 had noH3808 partH1961 in the murderH4191 of AbnerH74 sonH1121 of NerH5369.

38Then the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 his servantsH5650, “Do you notH3808 realizeH3045 thatH3588 a greatH1419 princeH8269 has fallenH5307 todayH3117H2088 in IsraelH3478?
