2 Samuel 18:14-15

Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he {was} yet alive in the midst of the oak. {with...: Heb. before thee} {midst: Heb. heart} And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
