2 Samuel 19
And
it
was
told
Joab,
Behold,
the
king
weepeth
and
mourneth
for
Absalom.
2 And
the
victory
that
day
was
turned
into
mourning
unto
all
the
people:
for
the
people
heard
say
that
day
how
the
king
was
grieved
for
his
son.
3 And
the
people
gat
them
by
stealth
that
day
into
the
city,
as
people
being
ashamed
steal
away
when
they
flee
in
battle.
4 But
the
king
covered
his
face,
and
the
king
cried
with
a
loud
voice,
O
my
son
Absalom,
O
Absalom,
my
son,
my
son!
5 And
Joab
came
into
the
house
to
the
king,
and
said,
Thou
hast
shamed
this
day
the
faces
of
all
thy
servants,
which
this
day
have
saved
thy
life,
and
the
lives
of
thy
sons
and
of
thy
daughters,
and
the
lives
of
thy
wives,
and
the
lives
of
thy
concubines;
6 In
that
thou
lovest
thine
enemies,
and
hatest
thy
friends.
For
thou
hast
declared
this
day,
that
thou
regardest
neither
princes
nor
servants:
for
this
day
I
perceive,
that
if
Absalom
had
lived,
and
all
we
had
died
this
day,
then
it
had
pleased
thee
well.
7 Now
therefore
arise,
go
forth,
and
a
speak
comfortably
unto
thy
servants:
for
I
swear
by
the
Lord,
if
thou
go
not
forth,
there
will
not
tarry
one
with
thee
this
night:
and
that
will
be
worse
unto
thee
than
all
the
evil
that
befell
thee
from
thy
youth
until
now.
8 Then
the
king
arose,
and
sat
in
the
gate.
And
they
told
unto
all
the
people,
saying,
Behold,
the
king
doth
sit
in
the
gate.
And
all
the
people
came
before
the
king:
for
Israel
had
fled
every
man
to
his
tent.
9 And
all
the
people
were
at
a
strife
throughout
all
the
tribes
of
Israel,
saying,
The
king
saved
us
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies,
and
he
delivered
us
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Philistines;
and
now
he
is
fled
out
of
the
land
for
Absalom.
10 And
Absalom,
whom
we
anointed
over
us,
is
dead
in
battle.
Now
therefore
why
speak
ye
not
a
word
of
bringing
the
king
back?
11 And
king
David
sent
to
a
Zadok
and
to
Abiathar
the
priests,
saying,
Speak
unto
the
elders
of
Judah,
saying,
Why
are
ye
the
last
to
bring
the
king
back
to
his
house?
seeing
the
speech
of
all
Israel
is
come
to
the
king,
even
to
his
house.
12 Ye
are
my
a
brethren,
ye
are
my
bones
and
my
flesh:
wherefore
then
are
ye
the
last
to
bring
back
the
king?
13 And
say
ye
to
a
Amasa,
Art
thou
not
of
my
bone,
and
of
my
flesh?
God
do
so
to
me,
and
more
also,
if
thou
be
not
captain
of
the
host
before
me
continually
in
the
room
of
Joab.
14 And
he
bowed
the
heart
of
all
the
men
of
Judah,
even
as
the
heart
of
one
man;
so
that
they
sent
this
word
unto
the
king,
Return
thou,
and
all
thy
servants.
15 So
the
king
returned,
and
came
to
Jordan.
And
Judah
came
to
a
Gilgal,
to
go
to
meet
the
king,
to
conduct
the
king
over
Jordan.
