When David heard that Absalom was slain (mp3)

Performed by the dwsChorale, this audio is a profound emotional representation from the late Renaissance era. It narrates the tale of Absalom, King David's handsome son, who some believed was deserving of the Israel throne even before his father's demise. On a fateful day, Absalom encountered a tragic event where his rich hair got entangled in a tree's branches during a ride, leaving him defenseless and ultimately, led to his death at the hands of his foes. The aftermath left King David utterly devastated. The audio includes lyrics.
