2 Samuel 19:4

Listen to 2 Samuel 19:4
4 Estava, pois, o rei com o rosto coberto, e clamava em alta voz: Meu filho Absalão, Absalão meu filho, meu filho!

2 Samuel 19:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:4

But the king covered his face
And would not see his generals, and thank them for their services: but wrapped himself in his mantle, after the manner of mourners:

and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my
son, my son!
and this was some time, perhaps some days after he had received the news of his death, since Joab and the army were returned from the battle; had it been a sudden start of passion, upon first hearing thee news, and had continued a few hours, it would have been more excusable; but to continue some days, as it is very probable it did, was very unbecoming.

2 Samuel 19:4 In-Context

2 Então a vitória se tornou naquele dia em tristeza para todo o povo, porque nesse dia o povo ouviu dizer: O rei está muito triste por causa de seu filho.
3 E nesse dia o povo entrou furtivamente na cidade, como o faz quando, envergonhado, foge da peleja.
4 Estava, pois, o rei com o rosto coberto, e clamava em alta voz: Meu filho Absalão, Absalão meu filho, meu filho!
5 Então entrou Joabe na casa onde estava o rei, e disse: Hoje envergonhaste todos os teus servos, que livraram neste dia a tua vida, a vida de teus filhos e filhas, e a vida de tuas mulheres e concubinas,
6 amando aos que te odeiam, e odiando aos que te amam. Porque hoje dás a entender que nada valem para ti nem chefes nem servos; pois agora entendo que se Absalão vivesse, e todos nós hoje fôssemos mortos, ficarias bem contente.
