2 Samuel 19:1-7
11Then it was reportedH5046 to JoabH3097, “BeholdH2009, 2the kingH4428 is weepingH1058 and he mournsH56 for AbsalomH53.”
2So the 3victoryH8668 that dayH3117 was turnedH1961 into mourningH60 for allH3605 the peopleH5971, becauseH3588 the peopleH5971 heardH8085 it saidH559 that dayH3117, “The kingH4428 is in mourningH6087 over his sonH1121.”
3And the peopleH5971 enteredH935 the cityH5892 surreptitiouslyH1589 that dayH3117, justH3512 asH3512 peopleH5971 who are humiliatedH3637 surreptitiouslyH1589 fleeH5127 in battleH4421.
4And the kingH4428 4coveredH3813 his faceH6440 and 5criedH2199 outH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, “6My sonH1121 AbsalomH53, AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121!”
5Then JoabH3097 cameH935 into the houseH1004 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “TodayH3117 you have shamedH954 7allH3605 your servantsH5650, who have savedH4422 your lifeH5315 todayH3117 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 revealedH5046 todayH3117 that 8commandersH8269 and servantsH5650 are nothingH369 to you; for I knowH3045 todayH3117 that ifH3863 AbsalomH53 were aliveH2416 and allH3605 of us were deadH4191 todayH3117, thenH227 it would beH3474 rightH3474 9as far as you are concernedH5869.
7NowH6258 therefore ariseH6965, goH3318 outH3318 and speakH1696 10kindlyH3820 to your servantsH5650, for I swearH7650 by the LordH3068, ifH3588 you do not goH3318 outH3318, 11noH518 manH376 will stayH3885 the nightH3915 with you, and thisH2088 will beH7489 worseH7489 for you thanH4480 allH3605 the misfortuneH7463 that has 12happenedH935 to you from your youthH5271 untilH5704 nowH6258!”
