¹⁶ Then ^(A)Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people. ¹⁷ And they took Absalom and cast him into ^[a]a deep pit in the forest and ^(B)set over him a very great heap of stones. And ^(C)all Israel fled, each to his tent. ¹⁸ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and ^(D)set up for himself a pillar which is in ^(E)the King’s Valley, for he had said, “^(F)I have no son ^[b]to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
