2 Samuel 18:16 in Context — 2 Samuel 18

14 E respondeu Joabe: Não perderei tempo contigo. E tomando três dardos em suas mãos, fincou-os no coração de Absalão, que ainda estava vivo em meio do carvalho.

15 Cercando-o logo dez rapazes escudeiros de Joabe, feriram a Absalão, e acabaram-lhe.

16 Então Joabe tocou a trombeta, e o povo deixou de seguir a Israel, porque Joabe deteve ao povo.

17 Tomando depois a Absalão, lançaram-lhe em um grande fosso no bosque, e levantaram sobre ele um muito grande amontoado de pedras; e todo Israel fugiu, cada um a suas moradas.

18 E havia Absalão em sua vida tomado e levantado-se uma coluna, a qual está no vale do rei; porque havia dito: Eu não tenho filho que conserve a memória de meu nome. E chamou aquela coluna de seu nome: e assim se chamou o Lugar de Absalão, até hoje.
