14Joab said, “I’m not going to waste any more time on you.” So he got three javelins. Then he went over and drove them into Absalom’s heart. He did it while Absalom was still hanging there alive in the oak tree.
15Ten of the men who were carrying Joab’s armor surrounded Absalom. They struck him down and killed him.
