Tombs of Absalom and Zehariah with conical roofs are rock-cut tombs located in the Kidron Valley on the bottom of the Mount Olives in Jerusalem, Israel.<br />According to the Bible, Absalom (Avshalom in Hebrew) was the third son of David, King of Israel. Absalom eventually rebelled against his father and was killed during the Battle of Ephraim Wood.<br />Zechariah Ben Jehoiada was the son of Jehoiada, the high priest in the times of Ahaziah and Jehoash of Judah (Joash). After the death of Jehoiada, Zechariah boldly condemned both king Jehoash and the people for their rebellion against God. This so stirred up their resentment against him that at the king's commandment they stoned him, and he died "in the court of the house of the Lord".
