- 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?"

- 你却爱那恨你的人,恨那爱你的人。你今日明明地不以将帅,仆人为念。我今日看明,若押沙龙活着,我们都死亡,你就喜悦了。
- 现在你当出去,安慰你仆人的心。我指着耶和华起誓,你若不出去,今夜必无一人与你同在一处。这祸患就比你从幼年到如今所遭的更甚。
- 于是王起来,坐在城门口。众民听说王坐在城门口,就都到王面前。以色列人已经逃跑,各回各家去了。
- 以色列众支派的人纷纷议论说,王曾救我们脱离仇敌的手,又救我们脱离非利士人的手,现在他躲避押沙龙逃走了。
- 我们膏押沙龙治理我们,他已经阵亡。现在为什么不出一言请王回来呢。
