2 Samuel 19:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Aftermath of the Battle

19 Joab was told, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”^{[a] 2} The victory that day became an occasion for mourning for all the people, because that day the people heard that the king was mourning for his son. ³ That day the people were sneaking into the city quietly, the way people who are ashamed of fleeing from the battle would sneak in quietly.
