2 Samuel 19:1-8

1Then it was toldH5046 JoabH3097, “BeholdH2009, 1the kingH4428 is weepingH1058 and mournsH56 for AbsalomH53.” 2The 2victoryH8668 that dayH3117 was turnedH1961 to mourningH60 for allH3605 the peopleH5971, for the peopleH5971 heardH8085 it saidH559 that dayH3117, “The kingH4428 is grievedH6087 for his sonH1121.” 3So the peopleH5971 wentH935 by stealthH1589 into the cityH5892 that dayH3117, as peopleH5971 who are humiliatedH3637 stealH1589 awayH1589 when they fleeH5127 in battleH4421. 4The kingH4428 3coveredH3813 his faceH6440 and 4criedH2199 out with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, “5O my sonH1121 AbsalomH53, O AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121!” 5Then JoabH3097 cameH935 into the houseH1004 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “TodayH3117 you have coveredH954 with shameH954 the facesH6440 of allH3605 your servantsH5650, who todayH3117 have savedH4422 your lifeH5315 and the livesH5315 of your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, the livesH5315 of your wivesH802, and the livesH5315 of your concubinesH6370, 6by lovingH157 those who hateH8130 you, and by hatingH8130 those who loveH157 you. For you have shownH5046 todayH3117 that 6princesH8269 and servantsH5650 are nothingH369 to you; for I knowH3045 this dayH3117 that ifH3863 AbsalomH53 were aliveH2416 and allH3605 of us were deadH4191 todayH3117, thenH227 7you would be pleasedH3474H5869. 7NowH6258 therefore ariseH6965, goH3318 out and speakH1696 8kindlyH3820 to your servantsH5650, for I swearH7650 by the LordH3068, ifH3588 you do not goH3318 out, surelyH518 9not a manH376 will passH3885 the nightH3915 with you, and thisH2088 will be worseH7489 for you thanH4480 allH3605 the evilH7463 that has comeH935 upon you from your youthH5271 untilH5704 nowH6258.” 8So the kingH4428 aroseH6965 and satH3427 in the gateH8179. When they toldH5046 allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, the kingH4428 is 10sittingH3427 in the gateH8179,” then allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

Now 11IsraelH3478 had fledH5127, eachH376 to his tentH168.
