33And the king xlamented for Abner, saying,
y“Should Abner die zas a fool dies?
34Your hands were not bound;
your feet were not fettered;
as one falls before the wicked
you have fallen.”
And all the people wept again over him.

and the king sang a lament for Abner:
Should Abner die as a fool dies?
Your hands were not bound,
your feet not placed in bronze shackles.
You fell like one who falls victim to criminals.
And all the people wept over him even more.
