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

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

Word soon reached Joab that the king was 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.”

Joab said,“ I’m not going to waste any more time on you.” So he got three javelins. Then he went over and plunged them into Absalom’s heart. He did it while Absalom was still hanging there alive in the oak tree.

The king gave an order to Joab, Abishai and Ittai. He commanded them,“ Be gentle with the young man Absalom. Do it for me.” All the troops heard the king give the commanders that order about Absalom.

A foolish child makes his father sad and his mother sorry.

But the man replied,“ I wouldn’t do anything to hurt the king’s son. I wouldn’t do it even for 25 pounds of silver. We heard the king’s command to you and Abishai and Ittai. He said,‘ Be careful not to hurt the young man Absalom. Do it for me.’

The king was very upset. He went up to the room over the entrance of the gate and wept. As he went, he said,“ My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died instead of you. Absalom! My son, my son!”

“ I don’t want you to take the news to the king today,” Joab told him.“ You can do it some other time. But you must not do it today, because the king’s son is dead.”
