Exegesis
The Niphal perfect verb neʿeṣav {נֶעֱצַב | ne-ʿe-ṣab} ‘was grieved’ centers the emotional state of the agent in the clause ʿalbenô {עַל־בְּנוֹ | ʿal-bə-nô} ‘over his son’. This structure preserves the Hebrew result–cause–statement pattern, conveying both the communal and personal dimensions of the narrative.
In context — 2 Samuel 19:2
And the victory on that day became mourning for all the people, because the people heard on that day, saying, “The king is grieved over his son.”
