Atëherë mbreti, duke u dridhur i tëri, u ngjit në dhomën që ishte mbi portën dhe qau; dhe thoshte: "O biri im Absalom; biri im, biri im Absalom! Të kisha vdekur unë në vendin tënd, o Absalom, biri im, biri im!".
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
