2 Samuel 18:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and (A)set up for himself a pillar which is in (B)the King’s Valley, for he had said, “(C)I have no son [a]to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
David Weeps Over Absalom
19 Then (D)Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and proclaim the good news to the king (E)that Yahweh has judged to save him from the hand of his enemies.” 20 But Joab said to him, “You are not the man for the good news this day, but you shall proclaim the good news another day; however, you shall not proclaim the good news today because the king’s son has died.”
