2 Samuel 18:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ The fighting spread over the whole country. That day the woods devoured more people than the battle.

⁹ Absalom happened to come face to face with some of David’s men. He was riding on a mule, and the mule went under the tangled branches of a large tree. Absalom’s head became caught in the tree. So he was left hanging ^[a] in midair when the mule that was under him ran away. ¹⁰ A man who saw this told Joab, “I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.”
