2 Samuel 18:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Then Joab said, “I shouldn’t waste time with you like this.” He took three sharp sticks and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the tree. ¹⁵ Then ten of Joab’s armorbearers surrounded Absalom, attacked him, and killed him.

¹⁶ Joab blew the ram’s horn to stop their ⌞fighting⌟, and the troops returned from pursuing Israel.
