2 Samuel 19:1-7
1And it was toldH5046 JoabH3097, Behold, the kingH4428 weepethH1058 and mournethH56 for AbsalomH53.
2And the victoryH8668 that dayH3117 was turned into mourningH60 unto all the peopleH5971: for the peopleH5971 heardH8085 sayH559 that dayH3117 how the kingH4428 was grievedH6087 for his sonH1121.1
3And the peopleH5971 gatH935 them by stealthH1589 that dayH3117 into the cityH5892, as peopleH5971 being ashamedH3637 steal awayH1589 when they fleeH5127 in battleH4421.
4But the kingH4428 coveredH3813 his faceH6440, and the kingH4428 criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, O my sonH1121 AbsalomH53, O AbsalomH53, my sonH1121, my sonH1121!
5And JoabH3097 cameH935 into the houseH1004 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Thou hast shamedH3001 this dayH3117 the facesH6440 of all thy servantsH5650, which this dayH3117 have savedH4422 thy lifeH5315, and the livesH5315 of thy sonsH1121 and of thy daughtersH1323, and the livesH5315 of thy wivesH802, and the livesH5315 of thy concubinesH6370;
6In that thou lovestH157 thine enemiesH8130, and hatestH8130 thy friendsH157. For thou hast declaredH5046 this dayH3117, that thou regardest neither princesH8269 nor servantsH5650: for this dayH3117 I perceiveH3045, that ifH3863 AbsalomH53 had livedH2416, and all we had diedH4191 this dayH3117, then it had pleased thee wellH5869H3477.23
7Now therefore ariseH6965, go forthH3318, and speakH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto thy servantsH5650: for I swearH7650 by YhwhH3068, if thou go not forthH3318, there will not tarryH3885 oneH376 with thee this nightH3915: and that will be worseH7489 unto thee than all the evilH7451 that befellH935 thee from thy youthH5271 until now.4
