2 Samuel 18:8

For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

The battle spread over the entire area, and that day the forest claimed more people than the sword.

For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

For the battle there was spread over the whole countryside, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest swallowed up more men that day than the sword.

For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

The battle raged all across the countryside, and more men died because of the forest than were killed by the sword.

For the battle was there spread over the surface of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
