2 Samuel 19:2

¹And the king was troubled, and went to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and thus he said as he went, My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom; would God I had died for thee, even I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son!

— 2 Samuel 19:2 —

³And the victory was turned that day into mourning to all the people, for the people heard say that day, The king grieves after his son.

⁴And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as people steal away when they are ashamed as they flee in the battle.
