Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the king’s dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom’s monument, unto this day.

Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

Ετι δε ζων ο Αβεσσαλωμ ειχε λαβει και στησει δι' εαυτον στηλην, την εν τη κοιλαδι του βασιλεως· διοτι ειπεν, Δεν εχω υιον δια να διατηρη την μνημην του ονοματος μου· και εκαλεσε την στηλην με το ονομα αυτου· και καλειται εως της ημερας ταυτης Στηλη του Αβεσσαλωμ.

Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom’s place.
