So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.

Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise and eat bread.

But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
