2 Samuel 19:4

Listen to 2 Samuel 19:4
4 Y el rey con su rostro cubierto, clamaba en alta voz: ¡Oh hijo mío Absalón, oh Absalón, hijo mío, hijo mío!

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 Y la victoria aquel día se convirtió en duelo para todo el pueblo, porque el pueblo oyó decir aquel día: El rey está entristecido por su hijo.
3 Aquel día el pueblo entró calladamente en la ciudad, como pueblo que humillado, entra a escondidas cuando huye de la batalla.
4 Y el rey con su rostro cubierto, clamaba en alta voz: ¡Oh hijo mío Absalón, oh Absalón, hijo mío, hijo mío!
5 Joab entró en la casa del rey, y dijo: Hoy has cubierto de verguenza el rostro de todos tus siervos que han salvado hoy tu vida, la vida de tus hijos e hijas, la vida de tus mujeres y la vida de tus concubinas,
6 al amar a aquellos que te odian y al odiar a aquellos que te aman. Pues hoy has demostrado que príncipes y siervos no son nada para ti; porque ahora en este día sé que si Absalón estuviera vivo y todos nosotros hoy estuviéramos muertos, entonces tú estarías complacido.
