2 Samuel 18:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ The men of Israel [who supported Absalom] were defeated there by the ^[a]men of David, and a great slaughter took place there that day, 20,000 men. ⁸ For the battle there was spread out over the surface of the entire countryside, and the [hazards of the] forest devoured more men that day than did the sword.

⁹ Now Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a massive tree, and his ^[b]head was caught in [the thick branches of] the tree; and he was left hanging [in midair] between heaven and earth, while the mule that had been under him kept going.
