2 Samuel 18:17 DBY

¹⁵  And ten young men that bore Joab's armour surrounded and smote Absalom, and killed him.

¹⁶  And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab kept back the people.

¹⁷  And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and raised a very great heap of stones upon him. And all Israel fled every one to his tent.

¹⁸  Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a monument, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance; and he called the monument after his own name; and it is called unto this day, Absalom's memorial.

¹⁹  And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me run, I pray, and carry the king the news that Jehovah has avenged him of his enemies.
