2 Samuel 18:9-11

Amplified Bible

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 ^[a]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.” ¹¹ Joab said to the man who informed him, “You saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? ^[b]I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt.”
