turned: Proverbs 16:15, Proverbs 19:12

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 14:1 - toward Absalom

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 19:2. The victory - was turned into mourning — Instead of rejoicing that a most unnatural and ruinous rebellion had been quashed, the people mourned over their own success, because they saw their king so immoderately afflicted for the loss of his worthless son.
