Joab was told,“ The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”

Someone told Joab,“ The king is weeping and mourning for Absalom. He’s filled with sadness because his son has died.”

It was told Joab,“ Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”

It was reported to Joab,“ The king is weeping. He’s mourning over Absalom.”

Then it was reported to Joab,“ Behold, the king is weeping and he mourns for Absalom.”

And Joab was told,“ Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”

And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

It was reported to Joab,“ The king is weeping. He’s mourning over Absalom.”

And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

( 19: 2) Joab was told,“ The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”

Joab was told,“ Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.”

“ Enough of this nonsense,” Joab said. Then he took three daggers and plunged them into Absalom’s heart as he dangled, still alive, in the great tree.

And the king gave this command to Joab, Abishai, and Ittai:“ For my sake, deal gently with young Absalom.” And all the troops heard the king give this order to his commanders.

Foolish children bring grief to their father and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.

“ I would not kill the king’s son for even a thousand pieces of silver,” the man replied to Joab.“ We all heard the king say to you and Abishai and Ittai,‘ For my sake, please spare young Absalom.’

The king was overcome with emotion. He went up to the room over the gateway and burst into tears. And as he went, he cried,“ O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you! O Absalom, my son, my son.”

“ No,” Joab told him,“ it wouldn’t be good news to the king that his son is dead. You can be my messenger another time, but not today.”
