2 Samuel 18:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:9

And Absalom met the servants of David
When his army was routed, he was in such a fright that he knew not which way to flee, and instead of flying from David's men, he fled in the way of them; but none of them attempted to slay him, nor even to stop him, but let him pass by them, knowing David's charge concerning him:

and Absalom rode upon a mule;
as was common for great personages to do in those days, ( 2 Samuel 13:29 ) ;

and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak;
and running full speed, Absalom could not guide him, nor stop, nor divert him from going under it:

and his head caught hold of the oak;
either the hair of his head was twisted and entangled in the thick boughs of the oak; or rather his head was jammed into a forked branch of the oak:

and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth;
hung in the air between both, as unworthy to live in either:

and the mule that [was] under him went away;
and left him hanging in the oak.

2 Samuel 18:9 In-Context

7 All铆 fue derrotado el pueblo de Israel delante de los siervos de David, y la matanza aquel d铆a all铆 fue grande: veinte mil hombres.
8 La batalla se extendi贸 por toda aquella regi贸n, y el bosque devor贸 m谩s gente aquel d铆a que la que devor贸 la espada.
9 Y Absal贸n se encontr贸 con los siervos de David; y Absal贸n iba montado en su mulo, y pas贸 el mulo debajo del espeso ramaje de una gran encina, y se le trab贸 la cabeza a Absal贸n en la encina, y qued贸 colgado entre el cielo y la tierra, mientras que el mulo que estaba debajo de 茅l sigui贸 de largo.
10 Cuando uno de los hombres vio esto, avis贸 a Joab, diciendo: He aqu铆, vi a Absal贸n colgado de una encina.
11 Joab dijo al hombre que le hab铆a avisado: He aqu铆, t煤 lo viste, 驴por qu茅 no lo heriste all铆 derrib谩ndolo a tierra? Yo te hubiera dado diez piezas de plata y un cintur贸n.
