2 Samuel 19:2

Free Bible Version

Victory that day was turned into mourning for the whole army, because they were told, “The king is grieving for his son.”

See the chapter Copy

Joab, son of Zeruiah, knew that the king kept on thinking about Absalom.

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

They stole back into town that day like defeated people steal in, ashamed of running away from the battle.

If the king is smiling, you'll live; his blessing is like the clouds that bring spring rain.

When a king gets angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; but his kindness is as soft as dew on the grass.
