OET (OET-RV) Abshalom happened to meet some of David’s men. He was riding his mule, and when it darted under the think branches of a large terebinth tree, his head got caught in the branches and he was left hanging in the air as the mule kept going.

(Occurrence 0) his head was caught up in the tree branches
(Some words not found in UHB: and,happened_to_meet ʼAⱱīshālōm to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before servants_of Dāvid and,Absalom riding on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,mule and,went the,mule below/instead_of thick_branches_of the,oak the,great and,caught_fast his/its=head in/on/at/with,tree and,left_hanging between the=heavens and=between the=earth/land and,the,mule which/who under,him went_on )
Absalom had long hair that got caught in the tree branches. Alternate translation: “his hair was caught in the tree branches”
(Occurrence 0) between the ground and the sky

Alternate translation: “in the air”
18:9 Absalom, who took such pride in his hair, died because of it. He who had built “a monument to himself” (18:18) was then thrown into a pit after his death (18:17) and denied the dignity of a proper burial. These ironies highlight the difference between Absalom’s aspirations and his destiny.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
