Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lifnei avdei David {לִפְנֵי עַבְדֵי דָּוִד | líf-nê ʿă-və-dê dā-vīd} situates Absalom before David’s attendants.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:9
And it happened that Absalom came before the servants of David, and he was riding on a mule that went under the thick branches of a great oak. His head became caught in the oak, and he was left hanging between the heavens and the earth while the mule that was under him continued on its way.
