2 Samuel 18:8 ASV

⁶  So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.

⁷  And the people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men.

⁸  For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

⁹  And Absalom chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.

¹⁰  And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.
