This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And his head caught hold of the oak - It has been supposed that Absalom was caught by the hair, but no such thing is intimated in the text. Probably his neck was caught in the fork of a strong bough, and he was nearly dead when Joab found him; for it is said, 2Sa 18:14, he was yet alive, an expression which intimates he was nearly dead.
