2 Samuel 18:15 YLT

¹³  or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself over-against.'

¹⁴  And Joab saith, 'Not right -- I tarry before thee;' and he taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the heart of Absalom, while he 'is' alive, in the midst of the oak.

¹⁵  And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and smite Absalom, and put him to death.

¹⁶  And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the people;

¹⁷  and they take Absalom and cast him in the forest unto the great pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones, and all Israel have fled -- each to his tent.
