32. So they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
33. And the king sang a lament over Abner and said:“Should Abner die as a fool dies?
34. Your hands were not boundNor your feet put into fetters;As a man falls before wicked men, so you fell.”Then all the people wept over him again.
35. And when all the people came to persuade David to eat food while it was still day, David took an oath, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!”
36. Now all the people took note of it, and it pleased them, since whatever the king did pleased all the people.
