2 Samuel 19:1-3
New Life Version
19 Then Joab was told, “See, the king is crying. He is filled with sorrow for Absalom.” 2 So the happiness of winning the battle that day was changed to sorrow for all the people. For they heard that day, “The king is filled with sorrow for his son.” 3 So the people were quiet as they went in secret into the city that day. They acted like people who are ashamed when they run away from a battle.
