2 Samuel 18:17

Plain English Version

They got Absalom and threw him into a deep hole in the middle of the bush. Then they covered his body with lots of stones. At the same time, the Israel mob ran away and went back to their homes. (We have not yet translated 18:18-31a. It tells how a messenger ran back to tell David the news.)
