1 And Joab was told, “Behold, the king is weeping and amourning for Absalom.”
2 So the victory that day was turned into amourning for all the people. For the people heard it said that day, “The king is grieved for his son.”
3 And the people1 stole back ainto the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
