Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
So the army went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim.
The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword.
And the battle was very fierce that day. And Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.
Then Abner called to Joab, “Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that the end will be bitter? How long will it be before you tell your people to turn from the pursuit of their brothers?”
For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed 120,000 from Judah in one day, all of them men of valor, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
