Then said Joab, "I may not stand tarrying with thee. And therewith he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive on the body of the tree.

And the king hid his face and cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom my son my son."

Geshur

And he overcame the Geshurites and the Aramites, and took the towns of Jair from them, and Kenath with the towns that belonged to the same, even three score towns. All these were the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites nor the Maacathites: But the Geshurites and the Maacathites dwelt among the Israelites even unto this day.

And so Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

For thy servant vowed a vow when I was in Geshur in the land of Syria, saying, "If the LORD shall bring me again to Jerusalem, I will serve the LORD."

Adonijah

the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;

But Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." And he gat him a chariot and horsemen and fifty men to run before him.

Now therefore as surely as the LORD liveth which hath established me and set me on the seat of David my father, and which hath made me a house as he promised me, Adonijah shall die this day."
