2 Samuel 18:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ If I had killed him, the king would have found out. And you would not have protected me!”

¹⁴ Joab said, “I won’t waste time here with you!” Now Absalom was still alive in the oak tree. So Joab took three spears and stabbed him in the heart. ¹⁵ Ten young men who carried Joab’s armor also gathered around Absalom. They struck him and killed him.
