2 Samuel 19:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The king covered his face and cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.”

⁵ Joab came to the king at the house and said, “Today you have put to shame all your followers, who today have saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, and the lives of your wives and concubines. ⁶ You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have demonstrated clearly today that your officers and followers are nothing to you. Today I have no doubt that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, you would be pleased.
