2 Samuel18:17
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 .
As a lasting monument of Absalom's sin and shame, and of the Righteous Judgment of God upon him. Compare Ios. 7. 26. and 8. 29. and 10. 27. He was first hanged, after a sort, which was an accursed death, Deut. 21. 23. and then thrust through with Darts and Swords; and, after all, in a manner stoned, which was the proper punishment of a Rebellio[illegible: 1+ letters]s Son, Deut. 21. 21.
To their houses and dwellings, to avoid the shame and punishment of their Rebellion.
