New Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition is unavailable, but you can change that!

The New Revised Standard Version is recognized in scholarly circles as the most accurate translation into English of the original Hebrew and Greek texts and is used by many Catholics. The Catholic Edition of the NRSV includes all the books of the Catholic canon.

Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. His head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on. A man saw it, and told Joab, “I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”
2 Samuel 18:9–10
