2 Samuel 18:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:17

And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the
wood
In the wood of Ephraim, near to which the battle was fought, and into which Absalom fled, and where he was slain:

and laid a very great heap of stones upon him:
his punishment was very exemplary; he was first hanged on an oak, and then thrust through with darts, and swords, and then covered with stones, ( 2 Samuel 18:9 2 Samuel 18:14 2 Samuel 18:15 ) , pointing to the death that a rebellious son, according to the law, ought to die, ( Deuteronomy 21:21 ) ; though this might be done in honour of him as a king's son; for such "tumuli", or heaps of stones or earth, were used by the ancients as sepulchral monuments, and the larger the more honourable F14; (See Gill on Joshua 7:26) and (See Gill on Joshua 8:29);

and all Israel fled everyone to his tent;
or to his city, as the Targum; everyone returned to their own house, and to their own business, and so the rebellion ceased.

2 Samuel 18:17 In-Context

15 Luego diez jóvenes escuderos de Joab rodearon a Absalón y lo remataron.
16 Entonces Joab hizo sonar el cuerno de carnero, y sus hombres regresaron de perseguir al ejército de Israel.
17 Arrojaron el cuerpo de Absalón dentro de un hoyo grande en el bosque y encima apilaron un montón de piedras. Y todo Israel huyó a sus hogares.
18 Mientras aún vivía, Absalón se había erigido a sí mismo un monumento en el valle del Rey, porque dijo: «No tengo hijo que perpetúe mi nombre». Le puso al monumento su propio nombre, y es conocido como el monumento de Absalón hasta el día de hoy.
19 David hace duelo por la muerte de Absalón
Después Ahimaas, hijo de Sadoc, dijo:
—Déjeme ir corriendo para darle al rey las buenas noticias: que el Señor
lo ha librado de sus enemigos.
