2 Samuelsboken 18:16-18
Svenska Folkbibeln
16 Sedan blåste Joab i hornet, och folket upphörde att förfölja Israel, ty Joab höll tillbaka sina trupper. 17 De tog Absalom och kastade honom i en stor grop i skogen och staplade upp ett mycket stort stenröse över honom. Och hela Israel flydde, var och en till sitt tält.
18 Medan Absalom ännu levde hade han låtit resa en minnessten åt sig, som står i Kungsdalen, ty han tänkte: "Jag har ingen son som kan bevara minnet av mitt namn." Den stenen hade han uppkallat efter sitt namn, och den heter än i dag Absaloms minnesvård.

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.

King James Version
16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
17 And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
