文周王,蓋鹵王之子也。初,毗有王薨,蓋鹵嗣位,文周輔之。位至上佐平蓋鹵在位二十一年,高句麗來侵,圍漢城。蓋鹵嬰城自固,使文周求救於新羅,得兵一萬廻。麗兵雖退,城破王死,遂卽位。性柔不斷,而亦愛民,百姓愛之。冬十月,移都於熊津。
King Munju (文周王) was the son of King Gaero. At the first, when King Biyu died and Gaero came to the throne, Munju helped him, and his office reached that of sangjwapyeong.
Gaero had been on the throne twenty-one years when Goguryeo came to raid and surrounded Hanseong. Gaero held the walls and made himself firm, and he sent Munju to seek help from Silla. Munju got ten thousand troops and came back. The troops of Goguryeo drew off, but the walls were broken and the king was dead, and so Munju ascended the throne.
He was gentle in nature and could not bring himself to decide, yet he also loved the people, and the people loved him. In winter, the tenth month, he moved the capital to Ungjin.
