2 Samuel 18:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Then (A)Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people. 17 And they took Absalom and cast him into [a]a deep pit in the forest and (B)set over him a very great heap of stones. And (C)all Israel fled, each to his tent. 18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and (D)set up for himself a pillar which is in (E)the King’s Valley, for he had said, “(F)I have no son [b]to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
