Wood of Ephraim

Wood of Ephraim was a forest in which the fatal Battle of the Wood of Ephraim was fought between the Royal army of David and those allied with the rebel prince Absalom, who was killed there, (2 Samuel 18:6, 8). It lies on the east of Jordan, not far from Mahanaim, and was some part of the great forest of Gilead – an area where the Israelites namely the tribe of Ephraim had settled.
