1

Now a worthless man happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew the trumpet and said,“We have no share in David,Nor do we have an inheritance in the son of Jesse;Every man to his tents, Israel!”

2

So all the men of Israel withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah remained loyal to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3

Then David came to his house in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the house, and put them in custody and provided them with food, but did not have relations with them. So they were locked up until the day of their death, living as widows.

4

Now the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.”

5

So Amasa went to summon the men of Judah, but he was delayed longer than the set time which he had designated for him.

6

And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight.”

7

So Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; and they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

8

When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it he had a belt with a sword in its sheath strapped on at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

9

And Joab said to Amasa, “Is it going well for you, my brother?” And Joab took hold of Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

10

But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand, so he struck him in the belly with it and spilled out his intestines on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

11

Now one of Joab’s young men stood by him and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!”

12

But Amasa was wallowing in his own blood in the middle of the road. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa from the road to the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

13

As soon as he was removed from the road, all the men went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

1

마침 거기에 불량배 하나가 있으니 그의 이름은 세바인데 베냐민 사람 비그리의 아들이었더라 그가 나팔을 불며 이르되 우리는 다윗과 나눌 분깃이 없으며 이새의 아들에게서 받을 유산이 우리에게 없도다 이스라엘아 각각 장막으로 돌아가라 하매

1

Now a worthless man happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew the trumpet and said,“We have no share in David,Nor do we have an inheritance in the son of Jesse;Every man to his tents, Israel!”

2

이에 온 이스라엘 사람들이 다윗 따르기를 그치고 올라가 비그리의 아들 세바를 따르나 유다 사람들은 그들의 왕과 합하여 요단에서 예루살렘까지 따르니라

2

So all the men of Israel withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah remained loyal to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

3

다윗이 예루살렘 본궁에 이르러 전에 머물러 왕궁을 지키게 한 후궁 열 명을 잡아 별실에 가두고 먹을 것만 주고 그들에게 관계하지 아니하니 그들이 죽는 날까지 갇혀서 생과부로 지내니라

3

Then David came to his house in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the house, and put them in custody and provided them with food, but did not have relations with them. So they were locked up until the day of their death, living as widows.

4

왕이 아마사에게 이르되 너는 나를 위하여 삼 일 내로 유다 사람을 큰 소리로 불러 모으고 너도 여기 있으라 하니라

4

Now the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.”

5

아마사가 유다 사람을 모으러 가더니 왕이 정한 기일에 지체된지라

5

So Amasa went to summon the men of Judah, but he was delayed longer than the set time which he had designated for him.

6

다윗이 이에 아비새에게 이르되 이제 비그리의 아들 세바가 압살롬보다 우리를 더 해하리니 너는 네 주의 부하들을 데리고 그의 뒤를 쫓아가라 그가 견고한 성읍에 들어가 우리들을 피할까 염려하노라 하매

6

And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight.”

7

요압을 따르는 자들과 그렛 사람들과 블렛 사람들과 모든 용사들이 다 아비새를 따라 비그리의 아들 세바를 뒤쫓으려고 예루살렘에서 나와

7

So Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; and they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

8

기브온 큰 바위 곁에 이르매 아마사가 맞으러 오니 그 때에 요압이 군복을 입고 띠를 띠고 칼집에 꽂은 칼을 허리에 맸는데 그가 나아갈 때에 칼이 빠져 떨어졌더라

8

When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it he had a belt with a sword in its sheath strapped on at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

9

요압이 아마사에게 이르되 내 형은 평안하냐 하며 오른손으로 아마사의 수염을 잡고 그와 입을 맞추려는 체하매

9

And Joab said to Amasa, “Is it going well for you, my brother?” And Joab took hold of Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

10

아마사가 요압의 손에 있는 칼은 주의하지 아니한지라 요압이 칼로 그의 배를 찌르매 그의 창자가 땅에 쏟아지니 그를 다시 치지 아니하여도 죽으니라 요압과 그의 동생 아비새가 비그리의 아들 세바를 뒤쫓을새

10

But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand, so he struck him in the belly with it and spilled out his intestines on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

11

요압의 청년 중 하나가 아마사 곁에 서서 이르되 요압을 좋아하는 자가 누구이며 요압을 따라 다윗을 위하는 자는 누구냐 하니

11

Now one of Joab’s young men stood by him and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!”

12

아마사가 길 가운데 피 속에 놓여 있는지라 그 청년이 모든 백성이 서 있는 것을 보고 아마사를 큰길에서부터 밭으로 옮겼으나 거기에 이르는 자도 다 멈추어 서는 것을 보고 옷을 그 위에 덮으니라

12

But Amasa was wallowing in his own blood in the middle of the road. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa from the road to the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

13

아마사를 큰길에서 옮겨가매 사람들이 다 요압을 따라 비그리의 아들 세바를 뒤쫓아가니라

13

As soon as he was removed from the road, all the men went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
