2 Samuel 18:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ [Absalom’s] men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter that day of 20,000 men.

⁸ For the battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more men that day than did the sword.

⁹ Then Absalom [unavoidably] met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and Absalom’s head caught fast [in a fork] of the oak; and the mule under him ran away, leaving him hanging between the heavens and the earth.
