Now it came about at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to the Lord, in Hebron.

For your servant made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”

The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron.

But Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”

Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, for they did not know anything.

And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people continually increased with Absalom.

사 년 만에 압살롬이 왕께 아뢰되 내가 여호와께 서원한 것이 있사오니 청하건대 내가 헤브론에 가서 그 서원을 이루게 하소서

Now it came about at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have made to the Lord, in Hebron.

당신의 종이 아람 그술에 있을 때에 서원하기를 만일 여호와께서 반드시 나를 예루살렘으로 돌아가게 하시면 내가 여호와를 섬기리이다 하였나이다

For your servant made a vow while I was living in Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”

왕이 그에게 이르되 평안히 가라 하니 그가 일어나 헤브론으로 가니라

The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he got up and went to Hebron.

이에 압살롬이 정탐을 이스라엘 모든 지파 가운데에 두루 보내 이르기를 너희는 나팔 소리를 듣거든 곧 말하기를 압살롬이 헤브론에서 왕이 되었다 하라 하니라

But Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”

그 때 청함을 받은 이백 명이 압살롬과 함께 예루살렘에서부터 헤브론으로 내려갔으니 그들은 압살롬이 꾸민 그 모든 일을 알지 못하고 그저 따라가기만 한 사람들이라

Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, for they did not know anything.

제사 드릴 때에 압살롬이 사람을 보내 다윗의 모사 길로 사람 아히도벨을 그의 성읍 길로에서 청하여 온지라 반역하는 일이 커가매 압살롬에게로 돌아오는 백성이 많아지니라

And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people continually increased with Absalom.
