Joab's

And the king
said
unto the people,
I will surely
go forth
with you myself
also.

But the people
answered,
Thou shalt not go forth:

of us die,

So the people
went out
into the field
against
Israel:
and the battle
was in the wood
of Ephraim;
Where the people

And Absalom

under the thick boughs

caught hold
of the oak,
and he was taken up
between the heaven

and the mule
that was under him went away.

And a certain
man
saw

Joab,
and said,
Behold, I saw

in an oak.
And Joab
said
unto the man
that told
him, And, behold, thou sawest
him, and why didst thou not smite
him there to the ground?
and I would have given
thee ten
shekels of silver,

And the man
said
unto Joab,
Though

in mine hand,
yet would I not put forth
mine hand
against the king's
son:
for in our hearing
the king
charged
thee and Abishai

saying,
Beware
that none touch the young man
Absalom.

Otherwise

thyself against me.
Then said
Joab,
I may not tarry
thus with thee.
And he took
three
darts
in his hand,
and thrust
them through the heart
of Absalom,
while he was yet alive
in the midst of the oak.

And Joab

and the people
returned
from pursuing
after

the people.
And they took
Absalom,

him into a great

Now Absalom

If he be alone, there is tidings
