I have no son:
"And unto Absalomª there were bornª ° threeª sons,ª and oneª daughter,ª whose nameª [was] Tamar:ª she¹ was¹ a womanª of a fairª countenance.ª" {2Sm 14:27} + "His rootsª shall be dried upª ° beneath,¹ ¹ and aboveª ¹ shall his branchª be cut off.ª ° ...

he called:
"And they said,ª ° Go to,ª ° let us buildª ° us a cityª and a tower,ª whose topª [may reach] unto heaven;ª and let us makeª ° us a name,ª lest¹ we be scattered abroadª ° upon¹ the faceª of the whole¹ earth.ª" {Gen 11:4} + "And when Samuelª rose earlyª ° to meetª ° Saulª in the morning,ª it was toldª ° Samuel,ª saying,ª ° Saulª cameª ° to Carmel,ª and, behold,¹ he set him upª ° a place,ª and is gone about,ª ° and passed on,ª ° and gone downª ° to Gilgal.ª" {1Sm 15:12} + "Their inward² thought¹ [is, that] their housesª [shall continue] for ever,ª [and] their dwelling² places¹ to all² generations;ª they call² °¹ ¹ [their] landsª after their own names.ª" {Psa 49:11} + "The kingª spake,ª ° and said,ª ° Is notª thisª ² greatª Babylon,ª that¹ Iª have builtª ° for the houseª of the kingdomª by the mightª of my power,ª and for the honourª of my majesty?ª" {Dan 4:30}

Absalom's place:
Josephus says there was in his time, about two furlongs from Jerusalem, a marble pillar called Absalom's hand, as it is in the Hebrew (see note on "And when Samuelª rose earlyª ° to meetª ° Saulª in the morning,ª it was toldª ° Samuel,ª saying,ª ° Saulª cameª ° to Carmel,ª and, behold,¹ he set him upª ° a place,ª and is gone about,ª ° and passed on,ª ° and gone downª ° to Gilgal.ª" {1Sm 15:12}); and there is one shown to the present day, in the valley of Jehoshaphat, which, though comparatively a modern structure, probably occupies the site of the original one set up by Absalom. "Therefore¹ ¹ is the name¹ of it² calledª ° Babel;ª because¹ the LORDª did there¹ confoundª ° the languageª of all¹ the earth:ª and from thence¹ ¹ did² ° the LORDª scatter them abroadª ° upon¹ the faceª of all¹ the earth.ª" {Gen 11:9} + "Nowª ² this manª ¹ purchasedª ° a fieldª withª the¹ rewardª of iniquity;ª andª fallingª ° headlong,ª he burst asunderª ° in the midst,ª andª allª hisª bowelsª gushed out.ª ° ... Andª it wasª ° knownª unto allª the¹ dwellersª ° at Jerusalem;ª insomuch asª thatª fieldª is calledª ° in theirª properª tongue,ª Aceldama,ª that is to say,ª ° The fieldª of blood.ª" {Act 1:18-19}
