2 Samuel 18:17-19

New King James Version

¹⁷ And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the woods, and ^(A)laid a very large heap of stones over him. Then all Israel ^(B)fled, everyone to his tent.

¹⁸ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a ^[a]pillar for himself, which is in ^(C)the King’s Valley. For he said, ^(D)“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.
