2 Samuel 18:10

Absalom Killed

9Now Absalom was riding on his mule when he met the servants of David, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree. The mule under him kept going, so that he was suspended in midair.10When one of the men saw this, he told Joab, “I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!”
