NASB
"And ten young men who carried Joab's armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him."
— 2 Samuel 18:15, NASB
“And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.”
“And ten young men that bare Joab’s armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. ”
“Ten young men who bore Joab's armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and killed him.”
“Then ten soldiers who were Joab’s armor bearers struck Absalom and finished him off.”
“Ten young men, armourbearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him slew him.”
“And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.”
“And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.”
The man said to Joab, "Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Protect for me the young man Absalom!'
"Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof."
Then Joab said, "I will not waste time here with you." So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
And ten young men who carried Joab's armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.
Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people.
They took Absalom and cast him into a deep pit in the forest and erected over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to preserve my name." So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day.
