2 Samuel 18:7 DBY

⁵  And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.

⁶  And 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 routed before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day: twenty thousand men.

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

⁹  And Absalom found himself in the presence of David's servants. And Absalom was riding upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of the great terebinth, and his head caught in the terebinth, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
