After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he remained there for three years.

Now when Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, Ahithophel was with him.

But Absalom fled and went to King Talmai son of Ammihud of Geshur. And David grieved over his son every day.

But Absalom, whom we anointed as our king, has died in battle. So now why do you hesitate to bring the king back?”

Then Absalom happened to come across David’s men. Now as Absalom was riding on his mule, it went under the branches of a large oak tree. His head got caught in the oak and he was suspended in midair, while the mule he had been riding kept going.
