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 Cerc谩ndolo luego diez j贸venes escuderos de Joab, hirieron a Absal贸n, y le mataron.
16 Entonces Joab toc贸 la trompeta, y el pueblo se volvi贸 de seguir a Israel, porque Joab detuvo al pueblo.
17 Tomando despu茅s a Absal贸n, le echaron en un gran foso en el bosque, y levantaron sobre 茅l un mont贸n muy grande de piedras; y todo Israel huy贸, cada uno a sus estancias.
18 Y en vida Absal贸n hab铆a tomado y levantado una columna, la cual est谩 en el valle del rey; porque hab铆a dicho entre si : Yo no tengo hijo que conserve la memoria de mi nombre. Y llam贸 aquella columna de su nombre; y as铆 se llam贸 el Lugar de Absal贸n, hasta hoy.
19 Entonces Ahimaas hijo de Sadoc dijo: Yo correr茅 ahora, y dar茅 las nuevas al rey de c贸mo el SE脩OR ha defendido su causa de la mano de sus enemigos.
