Parallel
2 Samuel 18:9
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Accidit autem ut occurreret Absalom servis David, sedens mulo : cumque ingressus fuisset mulus subter condensam quercum et magnam, adhæsit caput ejus quercui : et illo suspenso inter cælum et terram, mulus cui insederat, pertransivit.
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.
