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.
— 2 Samuel 19:5 —
6And Joab went in to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast this day shamed the faces of all thy servants that have delivered thee this day, and have saved the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and of thy concubines,
7forasmuch as thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee; and thou hast this day declared, that thy princes and thy servants are nothing in thy sight: for I know this day, that if Absalom were alive, and all of us dead today, then it would have been right in thy sight.
