2 Samuel 18:6-8

New International Version

⁶ David’s army marched out of the city to fight Israel, and the battle took place in the forest^(A) of Ephraim. ⁷ There Israel’s troops were routed by David’s men, and the casualties that day were great—twenty thousand men. ⁸ The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest swallowed up more men that day than the sword.
