When they came down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof [of his house].

They got up early [the next day]; and at dawn Samuel called Saul [who was sleeping] on the roof, saying, “Get up, so that I may send you on your way.” Saul got up, and both he and Samuel went outside.

So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the king’s palace], and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.

He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each one was five cubits.
