2 Samuel 18:14-17
14Then Joab said, “I will not 1waste time here with you.” 2So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the 3midst of the oak. 15And ten young men who carried Joab’s armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.
16Then 4Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people. 17They took Absalom and cast him into 5a deep pit in the forest and 6erected over him a very great heap of stones. And 7all Israel fled, each to his tent.
