In context

4“I will do whatever seems best to you,” the king replied. So he stood beside the gate, while all the troops marched out by hundreds and by thousands.

5Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom.

6So David’s army marched into the field to engage Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.

7There the people of Israel were defeated by David’s servants, and the slaughter was great that day—twenty thousand men.

8The battle spread over the whole countryside, and that day the forest devoured more people than the sword.
