4–6The kings got together,
they united and came.
They took one look and shook their heads,
they scattered and ran away.
They doubled up in pain
like a woman having a baby.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
For behold, the kings assembled;
they came on together.
As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
they were in panic; they took to flight.
Trembling took hold of them there,
anguish as of a woman in labor.

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,

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.
