- You love those who hate you and hate those who love you. You have made it clear today that the commanders and their men mean nothing to you. I see that you would be pleased if Absalom were alive today and all of us were dead.
- Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the LORD that if you don't go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come upon you from your youth till now."
- So the king got up and took his seat in the gateway. When the men were told, "The king is sitting in the gateway," they all came before him. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled to their homes.
- Throughout the tribes of Israel, the people were all arguing with each other, saying, "The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies; he is the one who rescued us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he has fled the country because of Absalom;
- and Absalom, whom we anointed to rule over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?"

- 你卻愛那恨你的人、恨那愛你的人。你今日明明的不以將帥僕人為念.我今日看明、若押沙龍活著、我們都死亡、你就喜悅了。
- 現在你當出去、安慰你僕人的心.我指著耶和華起誓、你若不出去、今夜必無一人與你同在一處.這禍患就比你從幼年到如今所遭的更甚。
- 於是王起來、坐在城門口.眾民聽說、王坐在城門口、就都到王面前。以色列人已經逃跑、各回各家去了。
- 以色列眾支派的人紛紛議論、說、王曾救我們脫離仇敵的手、又救我們脫離非利士人的手.現在他躲避押沙龍逃走了。
- 我們膏押沙龍治理我們、他已經陣亡。現在為甚麼不出一言請王回來呢。
