“Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”
2 Samuel 19:1 (BSB)
Context Reading
1Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.” 2And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is grieving over his son.” 3So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
