2 Samuel 18:16-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
16
Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people.
17
And they took Absalom and threw him into a deep pit in the forest, and erected over him a very large pile of stones. And all Israel fled, each to his
own
tent.
18
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a memorial stone, which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, 'I have no son to continue my name.' So he named the memorial stone after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19
Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, 'Please let me run and bring the king news that the
Lord
has freed him from the hand of his enemies!'
20
But Joab said to him, 'You are not the man
to bring
news this day, but you shall bring news another day; however, you shall bring no news this day, because the king’s son is dead.'
King James Version
Chapter 18
16
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
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.
18
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
19
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the
Lord
hath avenged him of his enemies.
20
And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
16
Joab blew the ram’s horn, and the troops broke off their pursuit of Israel because Joab restrained them.
17
They took Absalom, threw him into a large pit in the forest, and raised up a huge mound of stones over him. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.
18
When he was alive, Absalom had taken a pillar and raised it up for himself in the King’s Valley, since he thought, "I have no son to preserve the memory of my name." So he named the pillar after himself. It is still called Absalom’s Monument today.
19
Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and tell the king the good news that the
Lord
has vindicated him by freeing him from his enemies."
20
Joab replied to him, "You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but today you aren’t taking good news, because the king’s son is dead."
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
16
Then Joab blew the ram’s horn, and his men returned from chasing the army of Israel.
17
They threw Absalom’s body into a deep pit in the forest and piled a great heap of stones over it. And all Israel fled to their homes.
18
During his lifetime, Absalom had built a monument to himself in the King’s Valley, for he said, 'I have no son to carry on my name.' He named the monument after himself, and it is known as Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19
Then Zadok’s son Ahimaaz said, 'Let me run to the king with the good news that the
Lord
has rescued him from his enemies.'
20
No,' Joab told him, 'it wouldn’t be good news to the king that his son is dead. You can be my messenger another time, but not today.'

16
Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and the troops stopped pursuing Israel, for Joab halted them.
17
They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up a large heap of rocks over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.
18
During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King’s Valley as a monument to himself, for he thought, "I have no son to carry on the memory of my name." He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day.
19
Now Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, "Let me run and take the news to the king that the
Lord
