Absolom fogott

Absalom, the rebellious son of King David, hangs helplessly from the branches of a great tree as his mount runs on without him. Armed soldiers rush toward the scene with swords, shields, and spears, capturing the tense moment when Absalom’s striking hair becomes the very snare that stops his escape. The image presents the dramatic account from 2 Samuel 18, where Absalom is caught in the oak during battle after leading a revolt against his father’s throne. His suspended figure contrasts with the advancing soldiers, emphasizing the sudden collapse of pride, ambition, and rebellion. This artwork is well suited for Sunday school lessons, children’s Bible teaching, sermon visuals, and studies on David, Absalom, consequences, and the sorrowful cost of divided loyalty.
