And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 19 of 2 Samuel. David’s mourning threatens to turn victory into shame for his own followers. Joab rebukes him, arguing that by publicly mourning Absalom he makes the soldiers who saved his life appear to have acted wrongly. David accepts the advice and sits publicly at the gate. The scene shows the tension between the father’s private grief and the king’s public responsibilities. David must resume leadership even though he remains emotionally broken.

Und es ward Joab angesagt: Siehe, der König weint und trägt Leid um Absalom.
Y volviose aquel día la victoria en luto para todo el pueblo; porque oyó decir el pueblo aquel día que el rey tenía dolor por su hijo.
Et la victoire, ce jour-là, fut changée en deuil pour tout le peuple, car en ce jour le peuple entendait dire: Le roi est affligé à cause de son fils.
E la vittoria tornò in quel dì a tutto il popolo in duolo; perciocchè il popolo udì dire in quel dì: Il re è addolorato del suo figliuolo.
Então a vitória se tornou naquele mesmo dia em tristeza por todo o povo; porque naquele mesmo dia o povo ouvira dizer: Mui triste está o rei por causa de seu filho.
那日眾軍兵聽說王為他兒子悲傷,他們得勝的日子變成悲哀了。
