2 Samuel 18:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
6 Salió pues el pueblo al campo contra Israel, y dióse la batalla en el bosque de Ephraim;
7 Y allí cayó el pueblo de Israel delante de los siervos de David, é hízose allí en aquel día una gran matanza de veinte mil hombres;
8 Y derramándose allí el ejército por la haz de toda la tierra, fueron más los que consumió el bosque de los del pueblo, que los que consumió el cuchillo aquel día.
9 Y encontróse Absalom con los siervos de David: é iba Absalom sobre un mulo, y el mulo se entró debajo de un espeso y grande alcornoque, y asiósele la cabeza al alcornoque, y quedó entre el cielo y la tierra; pues el mulo en que iba pasó delante.
10 Y viéndolo uno, avisó á Joab, diciendo: He aquí que he visto á Absalom colgado de un alcornoque.
