Parallel
2 Samuel 18:9
Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex
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 (note: Or large terebinth or very great tree; similarly in verses 10 and 14), Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so that he was suspended in midair.
