The 2nd Book of Samuel 18: 9-10, 14, 24 – 25, 30; 19: 3

18:9 Then it happened that Absalom, riding on a mule, met the servants of David. And when the mule had entered under a thick and large oak tree, his head became trapped in the oak. And while he was suspended between heaven and earth, the mule on which he had been sitting continued on.
18:10 Then a certain one saw this and reported it to Joab, 言って, “I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.”
18:14 And Joab said, “It will not be as you wish. その代わり, I will be assailing him in your sight.” Then he took three lances in his hand, and he fixed them in the heart of Absalom. And while he was still clinging to life upon the oak,
18:15 ten young men, armor bearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him, 彼らは彼を殺しました.
18:24 Now David was sitting between the two gates. 本当に, the watchman, who was at the summit of the gate upon the wall, 彼の目を持ち上げる, saw a man running alone.
18:25 そして叫びます, he told the king. そして王様は言いました, “If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth.” But as he was advancing and drawing nearer,
18:30 そして王は彼に言った, “Pass, and stand here.” And when he had passed and stood still
18:31 Hushai appeared. そして近づいてくる, 彼は言った: “I bear good news, 私の主よ、王よ. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.”
18:32 But the king said to Hushai, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?」と応答します, Hushai said to him, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against him for evil, be as the boy is.”
18:33 And so the king, being greatly saddened, ascended to the upper room of the gate, and he wept. And as he went, he was speaking in this manner: “My son Absalom! Absalom my son! Who can grant to me that I may die on your behalf? アブサロム, 私の息子! My son, アブサロム!」

2 サミュエル 19

19:1 Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.
19:2 And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”
19:3 And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.
