33 And (A)the king sang a song of mourning for Abner and said,

“Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34 Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in bronze shackles;
As one falls before the [a]wicked, you have fallen.”

And all the people wept over him again. 35 Then all the people came (B)to provide [b]food for David in his distress while it was still day; but David vowed, saying, “(C)May God do so to me, and more so, if I taste bread or anything else (D)before the sun goes down.”
