2 Samuel 18:6 YLT

⁴  And the king saith unto them, 'That which is good in your eyes I do;' and the king standeth at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone out by hundreds and by thousands,

⁵  and the king chargeth Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, 'Gently -- for me, for the youth, for Absalom;' and all the people heard in the king's charging all the heads concerning Absalom.

⁶  And the people goeth out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle is in a forest of Ephraim;

⁷  and smitten there are the people of Israel before the servants of David, and the smiting there is great on that day -- twenty thousand;

⁸  and the battle is there scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplieth to devour among the people more than those whom the sword hath devoured in that day.
