2 Samuel 18:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ David's soldiers won the fight against Israel's soldiers. Many soldiers died in the battle that day. There were 20,000 dead men. 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.
