I added the image to this article, but I can't get it to display at a reasonable size (200px or so). I don't know what I've done wrong, but if anyone can help that would be great.

There are enough other references to Absalom that a disambiguation page should be made. This page needn't be cluttered up like this. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 19:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Will someone kindly go in and remove all the ambiguous writing? Who exactly is "him" and "his" in the following sentence: "Joab thrust three spears through the heart of Absalom as he struggled in the branches and his ten armour-bearers came around and slew him." Whose armour-bearers? There are numerous examples. Either that, or dump the whole page. Tom NM ( talk) 11:14, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Can someone please rewrite the "have sex with everything and anyone possible" line? It sounds like a troll wrote it. I'm not saying it isn't good to note the public-sex-with-ten-concubines thing, but it can be written a little more tastefully. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.113.61 ( talk) 02:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
The link to the Wood of Ephraim states that its location is East of the Jordan. ??? Also, there are over three dozen entries for the section Absalom in Art. Couldn't this be reduced? Mannanan51 ( talk) 18:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)mannanan51
Whoever edited this part of the life of Absalom never read the Bible itself. Instead of citing someone else who supposedly read the Bible (I doubt it), they need to start reading what the Bible actually says.
Absalom only raped his father's concubines AFTER he revolted against his father David, and only at the advice of his counselor Ahithophel (2 Samuel 16:20-22).
"David, attended only by the Cherethites and Pelethites and his former bodyguard that had followed him from Gath" Where on earth in the Bible did he find this information? It is pure speculation, but not indicated as such. When David got to Mahanaim, he was able to send an army of many thousands against the army of Israel, and his army was victorious against Absalom. Evidently, David had more friends and allies than this citation source indicated. 184.97.224.190 ( talk) 05:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
The sentence structure of this section breaks down and it becomes incomprehensible. I would try to fix it, but I don't know how. Maproom ( talk) 15:56, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Is the caterpillar in the Tim Burton-adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland' Absalom or Absolem? According to the entry on the 'Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)' page, it's the latter. The internet seems to agree. But I don't believe either of these are adequate sources? I'll leave it in more professional hands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:402A:9E00:ED79:1254:1A99:D8EE ( talk) 17:07, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Some Bible translations, etc. in English use an alternative transliteration: Absalon. Should this be added to the introductory paragraph of the article? -- 216.15.56.15 ( talk) 10:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
