The king’s sons were still on their way into town. But King David got a message about what happened. But the message was, “Absalom has killed all of the king’s sons! Not one of the sons was left alive.”
It happened that Absalom met David’s officers. Absalom jumped on his mule and tried to escape. The mule went under the branches of a large oak tree. The branches were thick, and Absalom’s head got caught in the tree. His mule ran out from under him, so Absalom was hanging above the ground. [105]
