Absalom's Monument

In all Israel fled everyone to his own home. Joab said, I will not waste time like this with you,. He took three darts in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak. And ten young men, Joab's armor-bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him and killed him. The watchmen called out and told the king, and the king said, If he is alone, there are tidings in his mouth. Ahmaaz ran by the way of the plane and outran the Kushite.
