Javelins to the Heart
2 Samuel 18:14
Joab said, "I'm not going to wait like this for you." So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom's heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree.
Once more, heart is the hollow, muscular organ in the thorax which maintains the circulation of the blood through the blood vessels.
Absalom's pretty hair caught in the tree as he tried to ride under it, and the merciless Joab killed him for a traitor in spite of the king's explicit instructions. Interesting that David, on the run from his own son, still had a father's heart. Joab had no patience for this, looking out for David's best interests. Three javelins. The picture is gruesome. Then his armor-bearers finished off the rebel prince, though you might think the javelins would have been fatal.
