2 Samuel 17:14 And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, said: “The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” So, by an act of the Lord, the useful counsel of Ahithophel was defeated, in order that the Lord might lead evil over Absalom.2 Samuel 17:14

And while he was suspended between heaven and earth, the mule on which he had been sitting continued on.2 Samuel 18:9
2 Samuel 18:10 Then a certain one saw this and reported it to Joab, saying, “I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.”2 Samuel 18:10

2 Samuel 18:14 And Joab said, “It will not be as you wish. Instead, I will be assailing him in your sight.” Then he took three lances in his hand, and he fixed them in the heart of Absalom. And while he was still clinging to life upon the oak,2 Samuel 18:14

For he said, “I have no son, and so this shall be the memorial to my name.” And he called the monument by his own name. And it is called the Hand of Absalom, even to this day.2 Samuel 18:18

2 Samuel 19:9 And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.2 Samuel 19:9
