Here is a message about Arabia: In the thicket of Arabia you spend the night, you Dedanite caravans.

All you wild animals in the fields, come and devour, all you wild animals in the forest!

Now the whole army ¹  entered the forest and there was honey on the ground. ² 

Then the army marched out to the field to fight against Israel. The battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.

The people I call my own ¹  have turned on me like a lion ²  in the forest. They have roared defiantly ³  at me. So I will treat them as though I hate them. ⁴ 

Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? ¹  Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?

Suppose he goes with someone else ¹  to the forest to cut wood and when he raises the ax ²  to cut the tree, the ax head flies loose ³  from the handle and strikes ⁴  his fellow worker ⁵  so hard that he dies. The person responsible ⁶  may then flee to one of these cities to save himself. ⁷ 

They took Absalom, threw him into a large pit in the forest, and stacked a huge pile of stones over him. In the meantime all the Israelite soldiers fled to their homes. ¹
