¹⁷ And the king of Sodom ^(A)went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the ^(B)King’s Valley), ^(C)after his return from the ^[a]defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him.

¹⁸ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a ^[a]pillar for himself, which is in ^(A)the King’s Valley. For he said, ^(B)“I have no son to keep my name in remembrance.” He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.
