2 Samuel 18:16 in Context — 2 Samuel 18

14 Y respondió Joab: No es razón que yo te ruegue. Y tomando tres dardos en sus manos, hincólos en el corazón de Absalom, que aun estaba vivo en medio del alcornoque.

15 Cercándolo luego diez mancebos escuderos de Joab, hirieron á Absalom, y acabáronle.

16 Entonces Joab tocó la corneta, y el pueblo se volvió de seguir á Israel, porque Joab detuvo al pueblo.

17 Tomando después á Absalom, echáronle en un gran hoyo en el bosque, y levantaron sobre él un muy grande montón de piedras; y todo Israel huyó, cada uno á sus estancias.

18 Y había Absalom en su vida tomado y levantádose una columna, la cual está en el valle del rey; porque había dicho: Yo no tengo hijo que conserve la memoria de mi nombre. Y llamó aquella columna de su nombre: y así se llamó el Lugar de Absalom, hasta hoy.
