And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.	And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.	And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
