ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૮:૯
યુદ્ધના સમયે એવું બન્યું કે આબ્શાલોમની દાઉદના કેટલાક સૈનિકો સાથે મુલાકાત થઈ. આબ્શાલોમ ખચ્ચર પર સવારી કરીને જતો હતો. તે ખચ્ચર એક મોટા એલોન વૃક્ષની ગીચ ડાળીઓ નીચે આવ્યું. તેની ગરદન એલોનવૃક્ષની ડાળીઓમાં ભરાઈ ગઈ. તે આકાશ તથા પૃથ્વી વચ્ચે લટકી રહ્યો. ખચ્ચર આગળ ચાલ્યું ગયું.

संयोग से अबशालोम और दाऊद के जनों की भेंट हो गई। अबशालोम एक खच्चर पर चढ़ा हुआ जा रहा था, कि खच्चर एक बड़े बांज वृक्ष की घनी डालियों के नीचे से गया, और उसका सिर उस बांज वृक्ष में अटक गया, और वह अधर में लटका रह गया, और उसका खच्चर निकल गया।

8For the battle was there spread over the surface of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

9Absalom happened to meet David’s servants. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak; and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was hanging between the sky and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.

10A certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”

11Joab said to the man who told him, “Behold, you saw it, and why didn’t you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a sash.”
