Covering his face was a symbolic action by which David showed his deep grief and distress, as he had done when fleeing Jerusalem in [15:30](../15/30.md). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And to express his deep sorrow, the king covered his face]

See how you translated the similar expression in [18:33](../18/33.md). Alternate translation: [Oh, Absalom, my son]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
