Absalom Dies In Battle

16 Then Joab blew with a horn, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, - for Joab had restrained the people. 17 And they took Absolom, and cast him, in the forest, into a large pit, and raised up over him a very great heap of stones, - and, all Israel, fled, every man to his home. 18 But, Absolom, had taken, and raised up for himself, in his lifetime, the pillar that is in the king's vale, for he said, I have no son, to keep in remembrance my name, so he called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absolom's monument unto this day.
