2 Samuel 18:16 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
14 Joab dit: Je ne m’arrêterai pas auprès de toi! Et il prit en main trois javelots, et les enfonça dans le cœur d’Absalom encore plein de vie au milieu du térébinthe.
15 Dix jeunes gens, qui portaient les armes de Joab, entourèrent Absalom, le frappèrent et le firent mourir.
16 Joab fit sonner de la trompette; et le peuple revint, cessant ainsi de poursuivre Israël, parce que Joab l’en empêcha.
17 Ils prirent Absalom, le jetèrent dans une grande fosse au milieu de la forêt, et mirent sur lui un très grand monceau de pierres. Tout Israël s’enfuit, chacun dans sa tente.
18 De son vivant, Absalom s’était fait ériger un monument dans la vallée du roi; car il disait: Je n’ai point de fils par qui le souvenir de mon nom puisse être conservé. Et il donna son propre nom au monument, qu’on appelle encore aujourd’hui monument d’Absalom.
