2 Samuel 18:13-15

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹³ On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life^[a] (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.” ¹⁴ Joab said, “I will not waste time like this with you.” And he took three javelins in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak. ¹⁵ And ten young men, Joab's armour bearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him and killed him.
