2 Samuel 18:14-17

14Then Joab said, “I shouldn’t waste time with you like this.” He took three sharp sticks and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the tree.

15Then ten of Joab’s armorbearers surrounded Absalom, attacked him, and killed him.

16Joab blew the ram’s horn to stop their ⌞fighting⌟, and the troops returned from pursuing Israel.

17They took Absalom, threw him into a huge pit in the forest, and piled a large heap of stones over him. Meanwhile, all Israel fled and went back to their homes.
