9 押沙龍偶然遇見大衛的僕人。押沙龍騎著騾子,從大橡樹密枝底下經過,他的頭髮被樹枝繞住,就懸掛起來,所騎的騾子便離他去了。
9 Now Absalom happened to meet David’s men. He was riding his mule, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s hair got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in midair, while the mule he was riding kept on going.
