Now in all Israel there was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the top of his head there was no impairment in him.

And when he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, because it was heavy on him, so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.

And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.

Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, yet he did not see the king’s face.

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent word again a second time, but he would not come.

Therefore he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s plot is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the plot on fire.

Then Joab got up, came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my plot on fire?”

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.”’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.”

So when Joab came to the king and told him, he summoned Absalom. Then Absalom came to the king and prostrated himself with his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.

온 이스라엘 가운데에서 압살롬 같이 아름다움으로 크게 칭찬 받는 자가 없었으니 그는 발바닥부터 정수리까지 흠이 없음이라

Now in all Israel there was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the top of his head there was no impairment in him.

그의 머리털이 무거우므로 연말마다 깎았으며 그의 머리 털을 깎을 때에 그것을 달아본즉 그의 머리털이 왕의 저울로 이백 세겔이었더라

And when he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, because it was heavy on him, so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.

압살롬이 아들 셋과 딸 하나를 낳았는데 딸의 이름은 다말이라 그는 얼굴이 아름다운 여자더라

And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.

압살롬이 이태 동안 예루살렘에 있으되 왕의 얼굴을 보지 못하였으므로

Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, yet he did not see the king’s face.

압살롬이 요압을 왕께 보내려 하여 압살롬이 요압에게 사람을 보내 부르되 그에게 오지 아니하고 또 다시 그에게 보내되 오지 아니하는지라

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent word again a second time, but he would not come.

압살롬이 자기의 종들에게 이르되 보라 요압의 밭이 내 밭 근처에 있고 거기 보리가 있으니 가서 불을 지르라 하니라 압살롬의 종들이 그 밭에 불을 질렀더니

Therefore he said to his servants, “See, Joab’s plot is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants set the plot on fire.

요압이 일어나 압살롬의 집으로 가서 그에게 이르되 어찌하여 네 종들이 내 밭에 불을 질렀느냐 하니

Then Joab got up, came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants set my plot on fire?”

압살롬이 요압에게 대답하되 내가 일찍이 사람을 네게 보내 너를 이리로 오라고 청한 것은 내가 너를 왕께 보내 아뢰게 하기를 어찌하여 내가 그술에서 돌아오게 되었나이까 이 때까지 거기에 있는 것이 내게 나았으리이다 하려 함이로라 이제는 네가 나로 하여금 왕의 얼굴을 볼 수 있게 하라 내가 만일 죄가 있으면 왕이 나를 죽이시는 것이 옳으니라 하는지라

Absalom answered Joab, “Behold, I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there.”’ Now then, let me see the king’s face, and if there is guilt in me, he can have me executed.”

요압이 왕께 나아가서 그에게 아뢰매 왕이 압살롬을 부르니 그가 왕께 나아가 그 앞에서 얼굴을 땅에 대어 그에게 절하매 왕이 압살롬과 입을 맞추니라

So when Joab came to the king and told him, he summoned Absalom. Then Absalom came to the king and prostrated himself with his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
