2 Samuel 19:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ The king covered his face and cried loudly, “My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”

⁵ Joab went into the king’s house and said, “Today you have ·shamed [humiliated] all your men. They ·saved [rescued; ^Tdelivered] your life and the lives of your sons, daughters, wives, and ·slave women [^Lconcubines; ^Csecondary wives; 3:7]. ⁶ You have shamed them because you love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. Today you have made it clear that your commanders and men mean nothing to you. What if Absalom had lived and all of us were dead? I can see you would be ·pleased [content].
