2 Samuel 18:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

¹³ If I had killed Absalom, my own life would be in danger. The king knows everything that happens! You would not have tried to save me from the king's punishment.’

¹⁴ Joab said, ‘I cannot stay here while you talk like this.’ So he took three spears and he went to the tree where Absalom was hanging. While Absalom was still alive, Joab pushed the spears into Absalom's heart. ¹⁵ Then ten of Joab's own guards came around Absalom. They knocked him down and they killed him.
