13 If I had taken his life despite that, you would stand back and watch as they strung me up. Nothing is hidden from the king.
Joab: 14 I can’t stand here talking to you all day.
Joab took three spears, and finding Absalom still dangling by his hair inside the oak, he thrust them into his heart. 15 Ten young men, Joab’s armor bearers, surrounded Absalom then and struck him until he was dead.

2 Samuel 18:13-15
New International Version
13 And if I had put my life in jeopardy[a]—and nothing is hidden from the king(A)—you would have kept your distance from me.”
14 Joab(B) said, “I’m not going to wait like this for you.” So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom’s heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree. 15 And ten of Joab’s armor-bearers surrounded Absalom, struck him and killed him.(C)
