But the king covered his face, and the king cried out with a loud voice,“ O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”Then Joab came into the house to the king, and said,“ Today you have disgraced all your servants who today have saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives and the lives of your concubines,in that you love your enemies and hate your friends. For you have declared today that you regard neither princes nor servants; for today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and all of us had died today, then it would have pleased you well.Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the Lord, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now.”Then the king arose and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying,“ There is the king, sitting in the gate.” So all the people came before the king. For everyone of Israel had fled to his tent.Now all the people were in a dispute throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying,“ The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now therefore, why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?”

Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus:“ O my son Absalom— my son, my son Absalom— if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!”

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

( Geshur and Syria took from them the towns of Jair, with Kenath and its towns— sixty towns.) All these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.

So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

And Absalom answered Joab,“ Look, I sent to you, saying,‘ Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say,“ Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still.”’ Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; but if there is iniquity in me, let him execute me.”

the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;

And Absalom her brother said to her,“ Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart.” So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king’s sons.Then Absalom came to the king and said,“ Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant.”But the king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, let us not all go now, lest we be a burden to you.” Then he urged him, but he would not go; and he blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us.” And the king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”But Absalom urged him; so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying,“ Watch now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon!’ then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant.”

For your servant took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying,‘ If the Lord indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying,“ I will be king”; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

Then Joab said,“ I cannot linger with you.” And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom’s heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

Now therefore, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!”So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he struck him down, and he died.

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King’s Valley. For he said,“ I have no son to keep my name in remembrance.” He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.

After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
