2 Samuel 18:9

Absalom Dies In Battle

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 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. ¹⁰ A certain man saw it and informed Joab, saying, “I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.”
