'Forest' in the Bible

David's army left for the battlefield to fight Absalom and his Israeli followers, and they also fought in the Ephraim forest,

The battle spread throughout the entire countryside, and the forest claimed more casualties that day than did the sword fighting.

Meanwhile, Joab's army grabbed Absalom's body, tossed it into a large pit in the forest, and filled it up with a huge pile of rocks. Then the Israelis ran away back to their homes.
