The Moabites see the water opposite them as red as blood, and flee before the Israelites
맞은편 물이 붉어 피와 같음을 본 모압 사람이 이스라엘 사람 앞에서 도망함
2 Kings 3:21–25: Now when all the Moabites hear that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gather themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, and stand on the border. They rise up early in the morning, and the sun shines on the water, and the Moabites see the water opposite them as red as blood. They say, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!” The text says, “When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites. They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked it.” The Korean Revised Version names the Moabites at 3:22 (모압 사람이 일찌기 일어나서), where WEB begins “They rose up early”, and calls on them as 모압 사람들아 (you Moabites) at 3:23, where WEB reads “Moab”; at 3:25 it reads 그 성읍을 쳐서 헐고 (they beat down the city) and 길하레셋의 돌들은 남기고 (they left the stones of Kir Hareseth), where WEB reads “They beat down the cities” and “until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones”.
