David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears.

And David lifteth up, and the people who are with him, their voice and weep, till that they have no power to weep.

Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.

David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.

Wept, until they had no more power to weep - This marks great distress; they wept, as says the Vulgate, till their tears failed them.

Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice,.... In doleful shrieks, and loud lamentations:
and wept, until they had no more power to weep; till nature was quite exhausted, and no moisture left; so the Vulgate Latin version, "till tears failed in them"; they could shed no more.

Wept - It is no disparagement to the boldest, bravest spirits, to lament the calamities of friends or relations.
