The Bible recounts Absalom's death in 2 Samuel 18, highlighting themes of rebellion, judgment, and the sorrow of David.

In 2 Samuel 18, Absalom, caught in an oak tree, faced his demise as he was abandoned by his followers. Despite David's instructions to deal gently with him, Joab took matters into his own hands and killed Absalom. This act illustrates the consequences of rebellion against God and the heartache it brought to David, showcasing both the seriousness of sin and the pain of parental love. David's mourning for Absalom, expressed in his lamentation, underscores the tragedy of such rebellion and its impact on families and communities.
