They will say to the leaders of the city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He won’t obey us. He eats too much and is a drunk.”
They took Absalom, threw him into a huge pit in the forest, and piled a large heap of stones over him. Meanwhile, all Israel fled and went back to their homes.
A son who assaults his father ⌞and⌟ who drives away his mother brings shame and disgrace.
Wine ⌞makes people⌟ mock, liquor ⌞makes them⌟ noisy, and everyone under their influence is unwise.
Correct your son, and he will give you peace of mind. He will bring delight to your soul.
His father and mother must take him to the leaders of the city at the city gate.
All the men of the city should stone him to death. You must get rid of this evil. When all Israel hears about it, they will be afraid.
