This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Laid a very great heap of stones upon him, as a lasting monument of Absalom’s sin and shame, and of the righteous judgment of God upon him. Compare Jos_7:26 8:29 10:27. He was first hanged, after a sort, which was an accursed death, Deu_21:23; and then thrust through with darts and swords; and, after all, in a manner stoned, which was the proper punishment of a rebellious son, Deu_21:21.
Every one to his tent; to their houses and dwellings, to avoid the shame and punishment of their rebellion.
