Tree of Life Version
2 Samuel 18:17-19
Tree of Life Version
17 They took Absalom and threw him into a deep pit in the forest and piled over him a very large heap of stones. Then all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.
18 (Now Absalom, in his lifetime, had taken and set up for himself a pillar, which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, “I have no son to preserve the memory of my name.” So he called the pillar by his name and it has been called Absalom’s Monument to this day.)
19 Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and bring the king news that Adonai has vindicated him against the hand of his enemies.”

17 They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up(A) a large heap of rocks(B) 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(C) as a monument(D) to himself, for he thought, “I have no son(E) to carry on the memory of my name.” He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
