The Bible is Beautiful.

“His head got caught in the thick branches
of a great oak, and he was left hanging.”

Absalom’s Downfall

In the heat of battle, Absalom, the rebellious son of David, was ensnared by his own long hair in the branches of a great oak. Suspended midair, his army fled, and his fate was sealed.

The Forest's Trap

More than nature, this oak marked the turning point of Absalom’s ambition, bringing pride to ruin in a quiet, brutal moment deep in the forest.

Reflection

Where might pride entangle you in unseen traps? Absalom’s story reminds us that downfall can be sudden and humbling.
