2 Samuel 18:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Ten young men, armourbearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him slew him.

¹⁶ And Joab sounded the trumpet, and kept back the people from pursuing after Israel in their flight, being willing to spare he multitude.

¹⁷ And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and they laid an exceeding great heap of stories upon him: but all Israel fled to their own dwellings.
