ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૮:૩૩
પછી રાજાને ઘણો જ આઘાત લાગ્યો, તે નગરના દરવાજા પરથી ચઢીને ઓરડીમાં ગયો અને રડવા લાગ્યો. જયારે તે અંદર ગયો ત્યારે ઉદાસ થઈને બોલ્યો, “મારા દીકરા આબ્શાલોમ, મારા દીકરા, મારા દીકરા આબ્શાલોમ તારા બદલે જો હું મરણ પામ્યો હોત તો કેવું સારું, આબ્શાલોમ, મારા દીકરા, મારા દીકરા!”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १८:३३
तब राजा बहुत घबराया, और फाटक के ऊपर की अटारी पर रोता हुआ चढ़ने लगा; और चलते-चलते यह कहता गया, “हाय मेरे बेटे अबशालोम! मेरे बेटे, हाय! मेरे बेटे अबशालोम! भला होता कि मैं आप तेरे बदले मरता, हाय! अबशालोम! मेरे बेटे, मेरे बेटे!!”
