THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Second Book of Kings (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

18:33 Would to God: David lamented the death of Absalom, because of the wretched state in which he died: and therefore would have been glad to have saved his life, even by dying for him. In which he was a figure of Christ weeping, praying and dying for his rebellious children, and even for them that crucified him.
