To cover or veil; to wrap or conceal the face
This verb appears only in 2 Samuel 19:4, describing David covering his face while mourning Absalom's death. The exact form is textually uncertain—some manuscripts and versions read from the root לוט (to wrap/veil) rather than לאט. Regardless, the sense is clear: David veiled his face in grief, a gesture of overwhelming sorrow. Covering the face expressed shame, distress, or mourning in ancient Near Eastern culture.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — To cover or veil the face, typically as an expression of grief or shame. David's mourning for Absalom was so intense that he wrapped his face, shutting out the world in his sorrow. Spanish 'cubrió' (covered), French 'couvrit' (covered), and German 'bedeckte' (covered) all converge on the concealing action. The gesture intensified David's public lament, creating tension with Joab's anger at the king's excessive mourning for a rebellious son. 1×
