And the king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice,“ My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”Then Joab came into the house to the king and said,“ Today you have shamed all your servants, who have saved your life today and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have revealed today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then it would be right as far as you are concerned.Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go out, no man will stay the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the misfortune that has happened to you from your youth until now!”So the king got up and sat at the gate. When they told all the people, saying,“ Behold, the king is sitting at the gate,” then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.And all the people were quarreling throughout the tribes of Israel, saying,“ The king rescued us from the hands of our enemies and saved us from the hands of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?”

Then the king trembled and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And this is what he said as he walked:“ My son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, Absalom, my son, my son!”

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

But Geshur and Aram took the villages of Jair from them, with Kenath and its villages, sixty settlements. All of these were the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.

So Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, and was there for three years.

But the sons of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites; instead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.

Absalom answered Joab,“ Behold, I sent for 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 still to be there.” ’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.”

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

Then Absalom her brother said to her,“ Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained and was isolated in her brother Absalom’s house.Now when King David heard about all these matters, he became very angry.But Absalom did not speak with Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king’s sons to celebrate.And Absalom came to the king and said,“ Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the king and his servants please go with your servant.”But the king said to Absalom,“ No, my son, we should not all go, so that we will not be a burden to you.” Though he urged him, he would not go; but he blessed him.Then Absalom said,“ If not, please have my brother Amnon go with us.” But the king said to him,“ Why should he go with you?”Nevertheless Absalom urged him, so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.Then Absalom commanded his servants, saying,“ See now, when Amnon’s heart is cheerful with wine, and I say to you,‘ Strike Amnon,’ then put him to death. Do not fear; have I not commanded you myself? Be courageous and be valiant.”

For your servant made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying,‘ If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’ ”

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

Then Joab said,“ I will not waste time here with you.” So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the midst of the oak.

Now then, as the Lord lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father, and has made me a house just as He promised, Adonijah certainly shall be put to death today!”Then King Solomon sent the order by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he struck him so that he died.

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a memorial stone, which is in the King’s Valley, for he said,“ I have no son to continue my name.” So he named the memorial stone after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.

Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David was in love with her.
