2 Samuel 3:32-35 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

32. When they had buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.

33. And the king sang this lament over Abner:Should Abner have died like a fool?

34. Your hands were not bound with chains,nor your feet placed in fetters;As one falls before the wicked, you fell.And all the people continued to weep for him.

35. Then they went to console David with food while it was still day. But David swore, “May God do thus to me, and more, if before the sun goes down I eat bread or anything else.”
