2 Samuel 19:2-4

Good News Translation

² And so the joy of victory was turned into sadness for all of David's troops that day, because they heard that the king was mourning for his son. ³ They went back into the city quietly, like soldiers who are ashamed because they are running away from battle. ⁴ The king covered his face and cried loudly, “O my son! My son Absalom! Absalom, my son!”
