2 Samuel 18:16 In-Context

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.
16 Then Joab blew on the trumpet and the troops returned from pursuing after Israel, for Joab kept back the troops.
17 They took Absalom and they threw him into the large pit in the forest and raised a very great heap of stones over him. Then all of Israel fled, each to his tent.
18 (Now Absalom had taken and set up for himself in his lifetime a stone pillar that [is] in the valley of the king, because he said, "I have no son in order to remember my name," and he called the stone pillar by his name. It [is] called the monument of Absalom until this day).
