SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:15
Cercándolo luego diez jóvenes escuderos de Joab, hirieron a Absalón, y le mataron.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 18:15
Verse 15. Ten young men-smote Absalom and slew him.] That is, they all pierced the body; but there could be no life in it after three darts had been thrust through the heart: but they added as much as would have killed him had he been alive.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour , etc.] That waited upon him in the battle, to carry his armour, and supply him with it as he should have occasion; these, by his orders, compassed about, and smote Absalom, and slew him ; they enclosed him that none might rescue him, and smote him with their spears or swords, or whatsoever armour they had, until it was a clear case that he was really dead. Joab in this disobeyed the king’s order, but provided for the good of the nation, and the safety of the king. The Jews observe f310 , that measure for measure was given to Absalom; he was proud of his hair, ( 2 Samuel 14:25,26), and therefore was hanged by it, ( 2 Samuel 18:9); he lay with ten concubines of his father, ( 2 Samuel 16:21,22), and therefore was smitten with ten lances or spears by ten young men; and he stole three hearts, the heart of his father, the heart of the sanhedrim, and the heart of the men of Israel, and therefore three darts were fixed in him, ( 2 Samuel 18:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - Let young people look upon Absalom, hanging on a tree, accursed forsaken of heaven and earth; there let them read the Lord's abhorrenc of rebellion against parents. Nothing can preserve men from misery an contempt, but heavenly wisdom and the grace of God.
