Now it happened afterward that the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.

Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console him about his father. But when David’s servants came to the land of the Ammonites,

the commanders of the Ammonites said to their lord Hanun, “Do you think that David is simply honoring your father since he has sent you servants to console you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to explore the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?”

So Hanun took David’s servants and shaved off half of their beards, and cut off their robes in the middle as far as their buttocks, and sent them away.

When messengers informed David, he sent servants to meet them, because the men were extremely humiliated. And the king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back, and then you shall return.”

Now when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become repulsive to David, the sons of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.

When David heard about this, he sent Joab and all the army, the warriors.

And the sons of Ammon came out and lined up for battle at the entrance of the city, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were stationed by themselves in the field.

그 후에 암몬 자손의 왕이 죽고 그의 아들 하눈이 대신하여 왕이 되니

Now it happened afterward that the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.

다윗이 이르되 내가 나하스의 아들 하눈에게 은총을 베풀되 그의 아버지가 내게 은총을 베푼 것 같이 하리라 하고 다윗이 그의 신하들을 보내 그의 아버지를 조상하라 하니라 다윗의 신하들이 암몬 자손의 땅에 이르매

Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console him about his father. But when David’s servants came to the land of the Ammonites,

암몬 자손의 관리들이 그들의 주 하눈에게 말하되 왕은 다윗이 조객을 당신에게 보낸 것이 왕의 아버지를 공경함인 줄로 여기시나이까 다윗이 그의 신하들을 당신에게 보내 이 성을 엿보고 탐지하여 함락시키고자 함이 아니니이까 하니

the commanders of the Ammonites said to their lord Hanun, “Do you think that David is simply honoring your father since he has sent you servants to console you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to explore the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?”

이에 하눈이 다윗의 신하들을 잡아 그들의 수염 절반을 깎고 그들의 의복의 중동볼기까지 자르고 돌려보내매

So Hanun took David’s servants and shaved off half of their beards, and cut off their robes in the middle as far as their buttocks, and sent them away.

사람들이 이 일을 다윗에게 알리니라 그 사람들이 크게 부끄러워하므로 왕이 그들을 맞으러 보내 이르기를 너희는 수염이 자라기까지 여리고에서 머물다가 돌아오라 하니라

When messengers informed David, he sent servants to meet them, because the men were extremely humiliated. And the king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back, and then you shall return.”

암몬 자손들이 자기들이 다윗에게 미움이 된 줄 알고 암몬 자손들이 사람을 보내 벧르홉 아람 사람과 소바 아람 사람의 보병 이만 명과 마아가 왕과 그의 사람 천 명과 돕 사람 만 이천 명을 고용한지라

Now when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become repulsive to David, the sons of Ammon sent messengers and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob with twelve thousand men.

다윗이 듣고 요압과 용사의 온 무리를 보내매

When David heard about this, he sent Joab and all the army, the warriors.

암몬 자손은 나와서 성문 어귀에 진을 쳤고 소바와 르홉 아람 사람과 돕과 마아가 사람들은 따로 들에 있더라

And the sons of Ammon came out and lined up for battle at the entrance of the city, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were stationed by themselves in the field.
