Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

Verse 31 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Samuel. Absalom flees to Geshur and remains there for three years while David mourns the situation involving his son. Their relationship remains suspended without genuine reconciliation. The king desires to see Absalom but does not fully resolve the moral and family problem between them. The physical distance reflects an internal rupture that will prepare Absalom’s later return and ultimately his rebellion against David.

Da stand der König auf und zerriß seine Kleider und legte sich auf die Erde; und alle seine Knechte, die um ihn her standen, zerrissen ihre Kleider.
Entonces levantándose David, rasgó sus vestidos, y echose en tierra, y todos sus criados, rasgados sus vestidos, estaban delante.
El rey se levantó, rasgó su ropa y se tendió en el suelo. Todos sus servidores estaban de pie con la ropa rasgada.
Le roi se leva, déchira ses vêtements, et se coucha par terre; et tous ses serviteurs étaient là, les vêtements déchirés.
Allora il re si levò, e stracciò i suoi vestimenti, e si coricò in terra; e tutti i suoi servitori gli stavano davanti co’ vestimenti stracciati.
Então o rei se levantou, e rasgou as suas vestes, e se lançou por terra; da mesma maneira todos os seus servos estavam com vestes rotas.
王就起來,撕裂衣服,躺在地上。王的臣僕全都撕裂衣服,站在旁邊。
