2 Samuel 19:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Therefore, that day’s victory was turned into one of mourning for the entire army when the troops heard the report: “The king is grieving for his son.”

³ The troops stole furtively into the city that day, much as soldiers steal in who are ashamed when they flee from a battle. ⁴ Meanwhile the king covered his face and cried out in a loud voice: “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
