30And Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because that he put to death Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in battle.
31And David saith unto Joab, and unto all the people who [are] with him, `Rend your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner;` and king David is going after the bier.
32And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifteth up his voice, and weepeth at the grave of Abner, and all the people weep;
33and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: -- `As the death of a fool doth Abner die?
34Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil -- Thou hast fallen!` and all the people add to weep over him.
35And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David sweareth, saying, `Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add, for -- before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.`
36And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes of all the people;
