2 Samuel 19:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:1

And it was told Joab
When returned to Mahanaim, or on his way to it; perhaps by the messengers he sent; and this report he had before he saw the king:

behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom;
for the death of him, instead of rejoicing at the victory obtained, and the deliverance from his enemies.

2 Samuel 19:1 In-Context

1 nuntiatum est autem Ioab quod rex fleret et lugeret filium suum

2 et versa est victoria in die illa in luctum omni populo audivit enim populus in die illa dici dolet rex super filio suo

3 et declinabat populus in die illa ingredi civitatem quomodo declinare solet populus versus et fugiens de proelio

4 porro rex operuit caput suum et clamabat voce magna fili mi Absalom Absalom fili mi fili mi

5 ingressus ergo Ioab ad regem in domo dixit confudisti hodie vultus omnium servorum tuorum qui salvam fecerunt animam tuam et animam filiorum tuorum et filiarum tuarum et animam uxorum tuarum et animam concubinarum tuarum
