2 Samuel 18:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on.

¹⁰ And one saw this and told Joab, saying: I saw Absalom hanging upon an oak.

¹¹ And Joab said to the man that told him: If thou sawest him, why didst thou not stab him to the ground, and I would have given thee ten sicles of silver, and belt?
