Absalom's Pillar or Place
A monument of tomb which Absalom had built during his lifetime in the king's dale, i.e. the valley of the Kedron, at the foot of Mount Olivet, near Jerusalem, 2Sa 18:18 comp. with 2Sam 14:27
for his three sons, and where he probably expected to be buried. The tomb there now, and called by Absalom's name was probably built at a later date.
