Then it was reported to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and he mourns for Absalom.”

So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, because the people heard it said that day, “The king is in mourning over his son.”

And the people entered the city surreptitiously that day, just as people who are humiliated surreptitiously flee in battle.

And the king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”

Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, “Today you have shamed all your servants, who have saved your life today and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,

by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have revealed today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then it would be right as far as you are concerned.

Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go out, no man will stay the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the misfortune that has happened to you from your youth until now!”

So the king got up and sat at the gate. When they told all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting at the gate,” then all the people came before the king.Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.

어떤 사람이 요압에게 아뢰되 왕이 압살롬을 위하여 울며 슬퍼하시나이다 하니

Then it was reported to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and he mourns for Absalom.”

왕이 그 아들을 위하여 슬퍼한다 함이 그 날에 백성들에게 들리매 그 날의 승리가 모든 백성에게 슬픔이 된지라

So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, because the people heard it said that day, “The king is in mourning over his son.”

그 날에 백성들이 싸움에 쫓겨 부끄러워 도망함 같이 가만히 성읍으로 들어가니라

And the people entered the city surreptitiously that day, just as people who are humiliated surreptitiously flee in battle.

왕이 그의 얼굴을 가리고 큰 소리로 부르되 내 아들 압살롬아 압살롬아 내 아들아 내 아들아 하니

And the king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”

요압이 집에 들어가서 왕께 말씀 드리되 왕께서 오늘 왕의 생명과 왕의 자녀의 생명과 처첩과 비빈들의 생명을 구원한 모든 부하들의 얼굴을 부끄럽게 하시니

Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, “Today you have shamed all your servants, who have saved your life today and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,

이는 왕께서 미워하는 자는 사랑하시며 사랑하는 자는 미워하시고 오늘 지휘관들과 부하들을 멸시하심을 나타내심이라 오늘 내가 깨달으니 만일 압살롬이 살고 오늘 우리가 다 죽었더면 왕이 마땅히 여기실 뻔하였나이다

by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have revealed today that commanders and servants are nothing to you; for I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then it would be right as far as you are concerned.

이제 곧 일어나 나가 왕의 부하들의 마음을 위로하여 말씀하옵소서 내가 여호와를 두고 맹세하옵나니 왕이 만일 나가지 아니하시면 오늘 밤에 한 사람도 왕과 함께 머물지 아니할지라 그리하면 그 화가 왕이 젊었을 때부터 지금까지 당하신 모든 화보다 더욱 심하리이다 하니

Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the Lord, if you do not go out, no man will stay the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the misfortune that has happened to you from your youth until now!”

왕이 일어나 성문에 앉으매 어떤 사람이 모든 백성에게 말하되 왕이 문에 앉아 계신다 하니 모든 백성이 왕 앞으로 나아오니라 이스라엘은 이미 각기 장막으로 도망하였더라

So the king got up and sat at the gate. When they told all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting at the gate,” then all the people came before the king.Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.
