2 Samuel 19:1-3

International Standard Version

Joab Rebukes David

19 ^[a]Someone informed Joab, “The king is weeping bitterly, mourning for Absalom.” ² The victory had become an occasion for the army to mourn, because on that very day the troops heard the announcement, “The king is grieving for his son!” ³ So men snuck into the city that day like men do who are ashamed after they’ve run away from a battle.
