2 Samuel 18:7

6 So David’s army marched into the field to engage Israel in the battle, which took place in the forest of Ephraim.

There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.

9 Now Absalom was riding on his mule when he met the servants of David, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so that he was suspended in midair.
