His death at the hand of Joab brought an end to Absalom’s disloyalty to his father, David, but what a price to pay for attempting to overthrow the theocratic arrangement!​—2 Samuel 15:1-12; 18:6-17.
Kifo chake mikononi mwa Yoabu kilikomesha ukosefu wa uaminifu-mshikamanifu wa Absalomu kwa baba yake, Daudi, lakini ni hasara iliyoje kulipa kwa kujaribu kupindua mpango wa kitheokrasi!— 2 Samweli 15:1-12; 18:6-17.
