2 Samuel 3:31-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³¹ And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.

³² And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.

³³ And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.
