    5And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains orders concerning Absalom.

    6So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim;

    7Where the people of Israel were defeated before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.

    8For the battle was scattered over the face of all the country: and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

    9And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head got caught in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

    10And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.

    11And Joab said to the man who told him, And, behold, you saw him, and why did you not strike him there to the ground? and I would have given you ten shekels of silver, and a belt.

    12And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, yet would I not raise my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.

    13Otherwise I should have acted falsely against my own life: for nothing is hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me.

    14Then Joab said, I cannot linger thus with you. And he took three spears in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was still alive in the midst of the oak.

    29And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got on his mule and fled.
