2 Samuel 18:18-20

18Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and 1set up for himself a memorial stone, which is in 2the King’s Valley, for he said, “3I have no son to 4continue my name.” So he named the memorial stone after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.

19Then 5Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and bring the king news 6that the Lord has 7freed him from the hand of his enemies!” 20But Joab said to him, “You are not the man to bring news this day, but you shall bring news another day; however, you shall bring no news this day, because the king’s son is dead.”
