2 Samuel 18:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ If I had done something treacherous to him, would you have stood by me? Like everything else, it wouldn’t stay hidden from the king.”

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.
