2 Samuel 3:31-39 - David Mourns Abner

31 And David will say to Joab and to all the people which were with him, Rend your garments and gird you with sack-cloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David went after the litter.

32 And they will bury Abner in Hebron: and the king will lift up his voice and weep at the grave of Abner; and all the people will weep. 33 And the king will lament for Abner, and he will say, As the fool died will Abner die? 34 Thy hands not bound, and thy feet were not joined to fetters as falling before the sons of iniquity thou fellest. And all the people will add to weep over him.

35 And all the people will come to cause David to eat bread, while yet day. And David will swear, saying, Thus will God do to me, and thus will he add, if before the going down of the sun I shall taste bread or anything. 36 And all the people knew, and it will be good in their eyes, as all the king did was good in the eyes of all the people. 37 And all the people knew, and all Israel, in that day, that it was not from the king to kill Abner son of Ner.

38 And the king will say to his servants, Will ye not know that a chief and a great one fell this day in Israel? 39 And I this day tender, and being anointed king; and these men sons of Zeruiah, hard for me. Jehovah will recompense to him doing evil according to his evil.
