2 Samuel 19:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son.

³ And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle.

⁴ And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son.
