¹ And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king `is' on Absalom,

³⁹ and `the soul of' king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for `he is' dead.

¹⁸ And there are there three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, and Asahel `is' light on his feet, as one of the roes which `are' in the field,

³³ And the king trembleth, and goeth up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weepeth, and thus he hath said in his going, `My son! Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son.'

² and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, `The king hath been grieved for his son.'

⁴ and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth -- a loud voice -- `My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.'

¹⁶ and their sisters Zeruiah and Abigail. And sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, and Joab, and Asah-El -- three.

²⁶ Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah `is' the judgment of each.
