2 Samuel 19:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

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 people come in when they are humiliated after fleeing in battle. ⁴ But the king hid his face^(A) and cried out at the top of his voice, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
