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. 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 decisive clash occurred in a forest near the Jordan, where thickets and marshes broke the ground. There Absalom's large, undisciplined army fell into confusion and became difficult to manage amid that tangled terrain. In that setting David's servants defeated the Israelites, and the killing that day amounted to twenty thousand men.
