2 Samuel 18:17

---

← 2 Samuel 18:16	2 Samuel 18:17 (KJV)	2 Samuel 18:18 →
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.	Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
