Context
3:32 So they buried Abner in Hebron . The king cried loudly over Abner’s grave and all the people wept too.
3:33 The king chanted the following lament for Abner : “Should Abner have died like a fool ?
3:34 Your hands were not bound , and your feet were not put into irons . You fell the way one falls before criminals .” All the people wept over him again.
3:35 Then all the people came and encouraged David to eat food while it was still day . But David took an oath saying , “God will punish me severely if I taste bread or anything whatsoever before the sun sets !”
3:36 All the people noticed this and it pleased them. In fact, everything the king did pleased all the people .
3:37 All the people and all Israel realized on that day that the killing of Abner son of Ner was not done at the king’s instigation.
3:38 Then the king said to his servants , “Do you not realize that a great leader has fallen this day in Israel ?
3:39 Today I am weak , even though I am anointed as king . These men , the sons of Zeruiah , are too much for me to bear ! May the Lord punish appropriately the one who has done this evil thing!”
