2 Samuel 18:15

¹³so as to do no harm to his life: and nothing of the matter will be concealed from the king, and thou wilt set thyself against me.

¹⁴And Joab said, I will begin this; I will not thus remain with thee. And Joab took three darts in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the heart of the oak.

— 2 Samuel 18:15 —

¹⁶And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab spared the people.

¹⁷And he took Absalom, and cast him into a great cavern in the wood, into a deep pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every man to his tent.
