New International Reader's Version
32 Abner’s body was buried in Hebron. The king wept out loud at Abner’s tomb. So did the rest of the people.
33 King David sang a song of sadness over Abner. He said,
“Should Abner have died as sinful people do?
34 His hands were not tied.
His feet were not chained.
He died as if he had been killed by evil people.”
All the people mourned over Abner again.
