When the kings joined forces,

when they advanced together,

they saw her and were astounded;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

pain like that of a woman in labor.

Look! The kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They looked and froze with fear;

they fled in terror.

Trembling seized them there,

agony like that of a woman in labor,

NLTNew Living Translation

The kings of the earth joined forces

and advanced against the city.

But when they saw it, they were stunned;

they were terrified and ran away.

They were gripped with terror

and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

For see, the kings assembled;

they advanced together.

They themselves saw it, so they were astonished.

They were terrified; they ran off.

Trembling seized them there—

pain as of a woman in labor.

KJV 1900King James Version

For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.

They saw it, and so they marvelled;

They were troubled, and hasted away.

Fear took hold upon them there,

And pain, as of a woman in travail.
