2 Samuel 18:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ David’s army went out into the field against Absalom’s Israelites. They fought in the forest of Ephraim. ⁷ There David’s army defeated the Israelites. Many died that day—20,000 men. ⁸ The battle spread through all the country. But that day more men died in the forest than in the fighting.
