Lexham English Bible

¹³ If I had dealt treacherously against his life, and there is not any matter hidden from the king, you would have presented yourself aloof.”^{[a] 14} Joab said, “No longer will I wait in your presence.” Then he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak tree. ¹⁵ Then ten of the young men who bore the weapons of Joab surrounded him and struck and killed Absalom.
