    Mark on 2 Samuel 18 - 2 years ago
    Could 'the wood devoured more people that day than the sword' also include those killed by arrows (made of wood)? We know that archery was used by king David...

    That's possible Mark, though I believe that 2 Samuel 18:7,8 refers more to the 'wooded areas' or countryside. As the battle was in "the wood of Ephraim" (v6) & "scattered over the face of the country" (v8), it seems more likely that factors such as hunger, thirst, exhaustion, wild beasts, etc. may have taken their toll on the men, more so than the sword or arrow.
