Also known as the Tomb of Absolom, this moment is attributed to David's son, Absolom. From the book of Samuel, we read: Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the Monument after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's Monument.
Here is a view from inside the pillar.
You will see Absolom's Pillar down in the Kidron Valley, between the old city, and the Mount of Olives.
