1 Samuel 30:4

⁴Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.

¹³When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.

²The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.

³⁹Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

³³He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.” ³⁴Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days. ³⁵All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol^[+] to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

⁴When the LORD’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.

¹All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

¹Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
