Context — Absalom Killed
5Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom.
6So David’s army marched into the field to engage Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
7There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.
8The battle spread over the whole countryside, and that day the forest devoured more people than the sword. 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.Cross References

2 Samuel 18:7 Summary
This verse tells us that the people of Israel were defeated by David's servants in a big battle, and many people were killed, twenty thousand to be exact. This happened because the people of Israel had rebelled against God's king, David, and God was not with them, as seen in 1 Samuel 15:23. It's a reminder that when we rebel against God's authority, there are serious consequences, but when we submit to Him, He can bring peace and victory, as promised in Isaiah 26:3. We can learn from this story by trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, even in difficult times, and seeking to obey His commands, as taught in Deuteronomy 28:1-2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the outcome of the battle between David's servants and the people of Israel?
The people of Israel were defeated by David's servants, resulting in a great slaughter of twenty thousand men, as stated in 2 Samuel 18:7, a consequence of their rebellion against God's anointed king, reminiscent of the warnings in Deuteronomy 28:25.
Why did the people of Israel suffer such a great defeat?
The people of Israel suffered defeat because they had rebelled against God's anointed king, David, and the Lord was not with them, as seen in 1 Samuel 15:23, where rebellion against God's authority is likened to witchcraft.
How does this verse relate to the larger story of David and Israel?
This verse is part of the story of David's reign as king of Israel, and the battle described here is a result of the rebellion led by his son Absalom, which is a fulfillment of the prophecy in 2 Samuel 12:10, where Nathan prophesied that the sword would never depart from David's house.
What can we learn from the fact that twenty thousand men were killed in this battle?
The large number of casualties in this battle highlights the severity of the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, as seen in the warnings of Joshua 23:15, where it is written that if the Israelites forsake the Lord, He will turn to be their enemy and destroy them.
Reflection Questions
- What are the consequences of rebelling against God's authority in my own life, and how can I submit to His will, as taught in Romans 13:1-2?
- How can I trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even in the midst of conflict and uncertainty, as seen in Psalm 23:4?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of obedience to God's commands and the consequences of disobedience, as warned in 1 Samuel 15:22-23?

Gill's Exposition on 2 Samuel 18:7
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David,.... That is, the people of Israel that were under Absalom, these were beaten by David's army: and there was a great slaughter that
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 18:7
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. The people of Israel were slain.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:7
The people of Israel, i.e. the soldiers of Absalom; so called, partly to note that all Israel (some few excepted) were engaged in this rebellion, which made David’ s deliverance more glorious and remarkable; and partly in opposition to David’ s men, who, as to the main body, or most considerable part, were of the tribe of Judah, or had followed him from Judah.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:7
2 Samuel 18:7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand [men].Ver. 7. Where the people of Israel were slain.] For a just reward of their unjust rebellion: besides a great sort of them who having tasted of the sweetness of war, dulce bellum inexpertis, threw down their arms, and ran home ad beatos rastros, benedictura aratrum, sanctamque stivam, as the divine chronologer saith of the seditious boors of Germany beaten by the princes, together with Munzer, their general, who was taken and executed according to his deserts. Bucholc.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:7
(7) Twenty Thousand.—This number seems large, but we really know nothing of the size of the forces engaged on either side; and if the phrase “that day” be taken, as often, with sufficient latitude to include the whole campaign of which this battle was the culmination, there is nothing surprising in the destruction of 20,000 men. Of the human causes of the victory nothing is told. We may assume that the advantage of thorough military organisation and generalship was on David’s side; but, in addition to this, was the vast power of the right, the prestige of law and authority.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:7
Verse 7. Twenty thousand men.] Whether these were slain on the field of battle, or whether they were reckoned with those slain in the wood of Ephraim, we know not.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:7
7. Twenty thousand — Surely the multitude that followed Absalom must have been like the sand of the sea. 2 Samuel 17:11.
