2 Samuel 18:18

The king' s dale - Anciently the "valley" of "Shaveh" (marginal reference), and apparently in the near neighborhood of Sodom; but the exact site is not known. It quite agrees with Absalom' s preference for Hebron II Samuel 15:7, that his monument should be reared by him in the south. If Absalom' s monument be placed in the ravine of the Kedron, the "king' s dale" here is a different place from the "dale of Shaveh."

Absalom' s place - literally, "Absalom' s hand." (I Samuel 15:12 note.)
