2 Samuel 3:32-34

Revised Standard Version

³²They buried Abner at Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept. ³³And the king lamented for Abner, saying,

“Should Abner die as a fool dies?
³⁴Your hands were not bound,
your feet were not fettered;
as one falls before the wicked
you have fallen.”

And all the people wept again over him.
