ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૮:૧૭
યોઆબના માણસોએ આબ્શાલોમને લઈને જંગલમાં એક મોટા ખાડામાં ફેંકી દીધો; તેઓએ આબ્શાલોમના મૃતદેહને મોટા પથ્થરના ઢગલા નીચે દફ્નાવ્યો, પછી બધા ઇઝરાયલીઓ પોતપોતાના ઘરે ચાલ્યા ગયા.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १८:१७
तब लोगों ने अबशालोम को उतार के उस वन के एक बड़े गड्ढे में डाल दिया, और उस पर पत्थरों का एक बहुत बड़ा ढेर लगा दिया; और सब इस्राएली अपने-अपने डेरे को भाग गए।

In context

15Ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and killed him.

16Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held the people back.

17They took Absalom and cast him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones. Then all Israel fled, each to his own tent.

18Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar which is in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to keep my name in memory.” He called the pillar after his own name. It is called Absalom’s monument, to this day.

19Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Let me now run and carry the king news, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”
