Contextual Overview

¹ People told Joab, "Look, the king is sad and crying because of Absalom." ² David's army had won the battle that day. But it became a very sad day for all the people, because they heard that the king was very sad for his son. ³ The people came into the city quietly that day. They were like an army that had been defeated in battle and had run away. ⁴ The king covered his face and cried loudly, "My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!" ⁵ Joab went into the king's house and said, "Today you have shamed all your men. They saved your life and the lives of your sons, daughters, wives, and slave women. ⁶ You have shamed them because you love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. Today you have made it clear that your commanders and men mean nothing to you. What if Absalom had lived and all of us were dead? I can see you would be pleased. ⁷ Now go out and encourage your servants. I swear by the Lord that if you don't go out, no man will be left with you by tonight! That will be worse than all the troubles you have had from your youth until today." ⁸ So the king went to the city gate. When the news spread that the king was at the gate, everyone came to see him. All the Israelites who had followed Absalom had run away to their homes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
