(Batman and Robin are standing in the Batcave, discussing the events of 2 Samuel 18)

Batman: Greetings, old chum! We must now turn our attention to 2 Samuel 18.

Robin: Right, Batman! It appears that David has divided his army into three parts and is sending them into battle against Absalom.

Batman: Indeed, Robin. The battle is fierce, and David's army is victorious. The victorious army returns to Jerusalem, and they report to David that Absalom has been killed in battle.

Robin: Oh, no! Poor David.

Batman: Yes, Robin. When David hears the news, he is overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. He orders that none of the people should tell him any more about Absalom's death.

Riddler (popping up from behind a rock in the Batcave): Ha! In the end, David's army was victorious and his son was dead! Quite the twist of fate, wouldn't you say?
