2 Samuel 19:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ The people slipped into the city stealthily that day as humiliated people steal away when they flee in battle.

⁴ But the king covered his face and cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

⁵ And Joab came into the house to the king and said, You have today covered the faces of all your servants with shame, who this day have saved your life and the lives of your sons and your daughters and the lives of your wives and concubines.
