2 Samuel 18:15 Context
13Otherwyse, I should haue wrought falshood against mine owne life: for there is no matter hid from the King, and thou thy selfe wouldest haue set thy selfe against me. 14Then said Ioab, I may not tary thus with thee. And hee tooke three darts in his hand, and thrust them thorow the heart of Absalom, while hee was yet aliue in the midst of the Oke. 15And ten yong men that bare Ioabs armour, compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 16And Ioab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Ioab helde backe the people. 17And they tooke Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and layd a very great heape of stones vpon him: and all Israel fled euery one to his tent.
