Well, photos issued by the Vatican yesterday showed the body lying on a burgundy-colored bier near the altar of the chapel in the monastery on Vatican grounds, where he lived for almost a decade.
A great number of priests convoyed the bier, and, alone in her draped carriage, without anyone knowing it, she carried on her knees the head of the man whom she had loved so much.
Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, " Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner" . King David himself walked behind the bier.
