Description
English: A stereo card by T. W. Ingersoll of Saint Paul, Minnesota, from his Holy Land Series. The caption reads "589. Absalom's Tomb, Valley of Jehosophat, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem". The description on the back reads:
2 Samuel 18:18.—"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."
Absalom's Tomb at the foot of Mount Olivet, according to Jewish tradition, was erected by Absalom during his lifetime, and is pelted by them with stones as they pass by, in execration of his treason (see 2 Samuel 15th chapter). The Architecture of the monument and the fact that it is not mentioned before A. D. 333 makes the tradition doubtful. The entire height of this very striking "pillar" cannot be less than forty feet, but the lower part is not a little encumbered with stones and rubbish.
