In this plight one of David's pur-
suing soldiers found the pretender. He
respected the kings injunction and
spared the princes life, reporting to
Joab what he had found. Then fol-
lowed an illuminating colloquy:
Joab: And, behold, thou sawest
him, ana why didst thou not sniite him
there to the ground? and 1 would have
given thee ten pieces of silver and a
girdle."
The soldier: Though 1 should re-
ceive a thousand pieces of silver in
my hand, yet would 1 not put forth
my hand to the kings son; for in our
hearing the king commanded thee and
Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that
none touch the young man Absalom.' y
Joab could not answer the loyal SOL
der, but he took three darts in his
hand and thrust them through the
heart of Absalom, while he was yet
alive in the midst of the oak. Joab' S
motives were doubtless mixed. He
had his own ambitions to serve, and,
as he was a masterful sort of king
maker, he also thought he knew what
was best for David; and he avoided
the possibility of later complications
by Staying Absalom out of hand.
The King Mt the Gate.
Meanwhile David was sitting in i'm
patience at the gate of the city fire.
quently sending the Waterman aloft to
the wall to look for tidings. The slow
passing hours chafed the impatient
father. But at last the Waterman
cried that he saw man running, then
a second man. The word was quickly
carried to the king, who, taking coun-
sci or his hopes, declared that the
runner was bringing good tidings.
When the first man appeared he had
not the heart to tell the king the
worst. He saw something in David 8
face which deferred him from reveal
ing the full truth. Then appeared the
second messenger, a rough Cushite,
crying, "Tidings for my lord the
king" Instantly to the royal lips leap
ed the uppermost query: as it well
with the young man Absalom?" The
needless Cushite answered that Absa-
lom was dead.
Nothing more did David care to
hear. YEARLY he dragged himself up
to the chamber over the gate, and
gave himself UP to weeping. AS he
went the awe-stricken men standing
round her him sobbing: 90 my son
round heard him sobbing: 90 my son
Would had died for thee, o Absa1om,
