And the king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, he said,“ O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”

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.”

The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise child makes a father rejoice, but a foolish child is a grief to his mother.

A foolish child is a grief to his father, and bitterness to the mother who bore him.

But now, if you will forgive their sin…, but if not, wipe me out from your book that you have written.”

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.

So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!’This is what the LORD says:‘ I am about to bring disaster on you from inside your own household! Right before your eyes I will take your wives and hand them over to your companion. He will have sexual relations with your wives in broad daylight!Although you have acted in secret, I will do this thing before all Israel, and in broad daylight.’”Then David exclaimed to Nathan,“ I have sinned against the LORD!” Nathan replied to David,“ Yes, and the LORD has forgiven your sin. You are not going to die.Nonetheless, because you have treated the LORD with such contempt in this matter, the son who has been born to you will certainly die.”Then Nathan went to his home. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and the child became very ill.Then David prayed to God for the child and fasted. He would even go and spend the night lying on the ground.The elders of his house stood over him and tried to lift him from the ground, but he was unwilling, and refused to eat food with them.On the seventh day the child died. But the servants of David were afraid to inform him that the child had died, for they said,“ While the child was still alive he would not listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He will do himself harm!”When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he realized that the child was dead. So David asked his servants,“ Is the child dead?” They replied,“ Yes, he’s dead.”So David got up from the ground, bathed, put on oil, and changed his clothes. He went to the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then, when he entered his palace, he requested that food be brought to him, and he ate.His servants said to him,“ What is this that you have done? While the child was still alive, you fasted and wept. Once the child was dead you got up and ate food!”He replied,“ While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept because I thought,‘ Perhaps the LORD will show pity and the child will live.But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Am I able to bring him back? I will go to him, but he cannot return to me!’”

For I could wish that I myself were accursed– cut off from Christ– for the sake of my people, my fellow countrymen,

Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months!
