2 Samuel 18:16-18
Common English Bible
16 Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and the troops stopped chasing the Israelites, because Joab held them back.
17 They took Absalom and threw him into a big pit in the forest. They piled over him a huge heap of stones. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes. 18 When he was alive, Absalom had raised a large pillar for himself in the King’s Valley because he said, “I have no son to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself. It is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.

2 Samuel 18:16-18
New International Version
16 Then Joab(A) sounded the trumpet, and the troops stopped pursuing Israel, for Joab halted them. 17 They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up(B) a large heap of rocks(C) over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.
18 During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King’s Valley(D) as a monument(E) to himself, for he thought, “I have no son(F) to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
