Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run ahead of him.

And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the road to the gate; and when any man who had a lawsuit was to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call out to him and say, “From what city are you?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

Then Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but you have no one to listen to you on the part of the king.”

Moreover, Absalom would say, “Oh that someone would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has a lawsuit or claim could come to me, and I would give him justice!”

And whenever a man approached to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

Absalom dealt this way with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.

그 후에 압살롬이 자기를 위하여 병거와 말들을 준비하고 호위병 오십 명을 그 앞에 세우니라

Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run ahead of him.

압살롬이 일찍이 일어나 성문 길 곁에 서서 어떤 사람이든지 송사가 있어 왕에게 재판을 청하러 올 때에 그 사람을 불러 이르되 너는 어느 성읍 사람이냐 하니 그 사람의 대답이 종은 이스라엘 아무 지파에 속하였나이다 하면

And Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the road to the gate; and when any man who had a lawsuit was to come before the king for judgment, Absalom would call out to him and say, “From what city are you?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

압살롬이 그에게 이르기를 보라 네 일이 옳고 바르다마는 네 송사를 들을 사람을 왕께서 세우지 아니하셨다 하고

Then Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but you have no one to listen to you on the part of the king.”

또 압살롬이 이르기를 내가 이 땅에서 재판관이 되고 누구든지 송사나 재판할 일이 있어 내게로 오는 자에게 내가 정의 베풀기를 원하노라 하고

Moreover, Absalom would say, “Oh that someone would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has a lawsuit or claim could come to me, and I would give him justice!”

사람이 가까이 와서 그에게 절하려 하면 압살롬이 손을 펴서 그 사람을 붙들고 그에게 입을 맞추니

And whenever a man approached to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

이스라엘 무리 중에 왕께 재판을 청하러 오는 자들마다 압살롬의 행함이 이와 같아서 이스라엘 사람의 마음을 압살롬이 훔치니라

Absalom dealt this way with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole the hearts of the people of Israel.
