2. Samuelsbok 18,7

David

5 Og kongen befalte Joab, Abisjai og Ittai og sa: "Vis mildhet for min skyld mot den unge mannen Absalom." Og alt folket hørte kongen gi ordre angående Absalom til høvedsmennene.

6 Så gikk folket ut i marken for å møte Israel, og slaget ble utkjempet i Efraimskogen.

Der ble Israels folk beseiret av Davids tjenere, og nedslaktningen der den dagen var stor—tjue tusen mann.

8 Slaget spredte seg over hele landet, og skogen fortærte flere folk den dagen enn sverdet fortærte.

9 Nå møtte Absalom Davids tjenere. Absalom red på muldyret sitt, og muldyret gikk under de tette grenene av en stor eik. Hans hode satte seg fast i treet, og han ble hengende mellom himmel og jord, mens muldyret som var under ham fortsatte.
