2 Samuel 18:9 DBY

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.

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

¹¹  And Joab said to the man that told him, And behold, thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten silver pieces and a girdle.
