2 Samuel 18:9

And Absalom met the servants of David, he found himself face to face with the heroes of David and in imminent danger of being captured. And Absalom rode upon a mule, the animal used for riding by the royal children: and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, one of the splendid terebinths of the forest, and his head caught hold of the oak, evidently because his long hair, of which he was so proud, wrapped around a limb; and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth, suspended from the tree by the hair of his head. And the mule that was under him went away, continuing his flight without his master.
