2 Samuel 18:18-20

18Now AbsalomH53 in his lifetimeH2425 had takenH3947 and 1setH5324 up for himself a pillarH4676 whichH834 is in 2the King’sH4428 ValleyH6010, for he saidH559, “3I haveH369 noH369 sonH1121 4to preserveH2142 my nameH8034.” So he namedH7121 the pillarH4676 afterH5921 his own nameH8034, and it is calledH7121 Absalom’sH53 MonumentH3027 to thisH2088 dayH3117.

19Then 5AhimaazH290 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 let me runH7323 and bringH1319 the kingH4428 newsH1319 6that the LordH3068 has 7freedH8199 him from the handH3027 of his enemiesH340.” 20But JoabH3097 saidH559 to him, “You are not the manH376 to carryH1309 newsH1309 thisH2088 dayH3117, but you shall carryH1319 newsH1319 anotherH312 dayH3117; however, you shall carryH1319 noH3808 newsH1319 todayH3117 becauseH3588H5921 the king’sH4428 sonH1121 is deadH4191.”
