Absalom » Death and burial
And Absalom meeteth before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule cometh in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head taketh hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that is under him hath passed on. And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, 'Lo, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.' And Joab saith to the man who is declaring it to him, 'And lo, thou hast seen -- and wherefore didst thou not smite him there to the earth -- and on me to give to thee ten silverlings and one girdle?' read more.
And the man saith unto Joab, 'Yea, though I am weighing on my hand a thousand silverlings, I do not put forth my hand unto the son of the king; for in our ears hath the king charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe ye who is against the youth -- against Absalom; or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself over-against.' And Joab saith, 'Not right -- I tarry before thee;' and he taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the heart of Absalom, while he is alive, in the midst of the oak. And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and smite Absalom, and put him to death. And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the people; and they take Absalom and cast him in the forest unto the great pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones, and all Israel have fled -- each to his tent.
