2 Samuel 18:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ They fought the battle everywhere in the forest and around it. The forest itself caused the death of more men than the battle did.

⁹ During the battle, Absalom was riding on his mule and he met some of David's soldiers. His mule carried him under a big oak tree. The tree's branches caught Absalom's hair so that he hung there above the ground. His mule ran off and left him there.

¹⁰ One of David's men saw what had happened. He told Joab, ‘I have seen Absalom. He is hanging from an oak tree.’
