2 Samuel 18:33

18:33 (19:1) ⁸  The king then became very upset. He went up to the upper room over the gate and wept. As he went he said, “My son, Absalom! My son, my son, ⁹  Absalom! If only I could have died in your place! Absalom, my son, my son!” ¹⁰ 

2 Samuel 19:35

19:35 I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I ¹¹  taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I ¹²  continue to be a burden to my lord the king?

[18:33]  ⁸ sn This marks the beginning of ch. 19 in the Hebrew text. Beginning with 18:33, the verse numbers through 19:43 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 18:33 ET = 19:1 HT, 19:1 ET = 19:2 HT, 19:2 ET = 19:3 HT, etc., through 19:43 ET = 19:44 HT. From 20:1 the versification in the English Bible and the Hebrew Bible is again the same.
