2 Samuel 18:9-17

9And AbsalomH53 found himself in the presenceH6440 of David's servantsH5650. And AbsalomH53 was ridingH7392 upon a muleH6505, and the muleH6505 wentH935 under the thick boughs of the greatH1419 terebinthH424, and his headH7218 caught in the terebinthH424, and he was takenH2388 up between the heavenH8064 and the earthH776; and the muleH6505 that was under him wentH935 awayH5674.

10And a manH376 sawH7200 it, and toldH5046 JoabH3097, and saidH559, Behold, I sawH7200 AbsalomH53 hangingH8518 in a terebinthH424.

11And JoabH3097 saidH559 to the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And behold, thou sawest [him], and whyH4069 didst thou not smite him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 silverH3701 pieces and a girdle.

12And the manH376 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Though I should receive a thousandH505 silverH3701 pieces in my handH3027, yet would I not put forthH7971 my handH3027 against the king's sonH1121; for in our hearing the kingH4428 charged thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, TakeH8104 care, whoever it be [of you], of the youngH5288 manH376 AbsalomH53.

13Or I should have actedH6213 falsely against mine ownH5315 lifeH5315, for there is no matterH1697 concealed from the kingH4428, and thou wouldest have set thyself against [me].

14Then saidH559 JoabH3097, I may not tarry thusH3651 with thee. And he tookH3947 threeH7969 spears in his handH3709, and thrustH8628 them into Absalom's body, while he was yetH5750 aliveH2416 in the midst of the terebinthH424.

15And tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288 that boreH5375 Joab's armour surroundedH5437 and smote AbsalomH53, and killed him.

16And JoabH3097 blew the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 from pursuingH7291 after IsraelH3478; for JoabH3097 keptH2820 backH7725 the peopleH5971.

17And they tookH3947 AbsalomH53, and castH7993 him into a greatH1419 pitH6354 in the wood, and raised a veryH3966 greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 upon him. And all IsraelH3478 fledH5127 every oneH376 to his tentH168.
