In ancient Israel, the third and most beloved son of David. His
story is told in II Samuel 13-19. An attractive but lawless man, he killed his
half-brother Amnon as revenge for the latter's rape of Tamar, Absalom's sister,
and was banished from the kingdom for a time. He later raised a rebellion
against his father, capturing Jerusalem but meeting defeat in the forest of
Ephraim, where he was killed by his cousin Joab, who found him caught by the
hair in an oak tree. Despite Absalom's treachery, David greatly lamented his
death.

古时以色列国王大卫（david）的第三子，为大卫所宠爱。其事迹载于〈撒母耳记下〉（II
Samuel）13～19章。他容貌俊美、不遵守法度、刚愎自用。他因为胞妹谭玛（Tamar）被大卫长子（他的异母哥哥）暗嫩（Amnon）奸污而杀死暗嫩，为此被放逐。后来，他发动反抗父亲的叛乱，占领耶路撒冷，但在以法莲（Ephraim，今约旦西部）树林中全军覆没。他的堂哥约押趁押沙龙的头发被橡树枝缠住时将他杀死。仅管押沙龙有叛乱之举，大卫对他的死仍十分伤痛。
