2 Samuel 19:2-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

² That day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the troops because on that day the troops heard, ‘The king is grieving over his son.’ ³ So they returned to the city quietly that day like troops come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle. ⁴ But the king covered his face^(A) and cried loudly, ‘My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son! ’
