2 Samuel 19:4-6

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴ But as for the king, he ^(A)wrapped his face up. Then the king cried out with a loud voice, “^(B)O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!” ⁵ Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who today have provided escape for your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines, ⁶ by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have informed all of us today that ^[a]princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, surely then it would be right in your eyes.
