2 Samuel 19:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² David's army found out he was crying because his son had died, and their day of victory suddenly turned into a day of sadness. ³ The troops were sneaking into Mahanaim, just as if they had run away from a battle and were ashamed.

⁴ David covered his face with his hands and kept on crying loudly, “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
