2. Samuelsbok 19,2

Grief

1 Da ble det meldt til Joab: "Se, kongen gråter og sørger over Absalom."

Så seieren den dagen ble vendt til sorg for hele folket, for folket hørte det bli sagt den dagen: "Kongen sørger over sin sønn."

3 Og folket snek seg inn i byen den dagen som folk sniker seg bort når de er ydmyket etter å ha flyktet i kamp.

4 Kongen skjulte ansiktet sitt og klaget høyt: "Å min sønn Absalom, å Absalom, min sønn, min sønn!"
