The death of his beloved son, Absalom, plunged him into inconsolable grief and left an indelible mark on the history of this sacred region. Illustrated vividly in the Dore Bible from 1866, we witness David's anguish as he receives the heart-wrenching news. His sorrow knows no bounds as he mourns for his fallen son. The engraving captures every ounce of pain etched upon David's face, reflecting a father's profound loss. Yet within this tale lies more than just sorrow; it is also one marked by reconciliation and retreat. Another engraving portrays Davids Reconciliation to Absalom - a moment where forgiveness transcends tragedy. It reminds us that even in times of immense sadness, there can be room for healing and redemption. However, not all moments were filled with hope. In another color lithograph titled "David and his friends retreating from Absalom, " we witness fear gripping their hearts as they flee from danger lurking behind them.
