2 Samuel 19:2

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

2 Samuel 19:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 19:2

And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning unto all
the people
They also mourned too, instead of expressing joy upon the occasion:

for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his
son;
this report was spread among them, which damped their joy, and hindered them from giving any tokens of it, as were usual at such times.

2 Samuel 19:2 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
