Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the bier.
2 Samuel 3:31 English Standard Version
Whenever someone dies David really, really takes it hard. Here he's mourning Abner, his enemy-turned-maybe-friend. And when Absalom died he nearly lost his mind, then when his child by Bathsheeba didn't make it he lay on his face for a week. Bit of a drama queen, huh?
