[1] After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. [2] David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.”So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him. [3] But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?” [4] So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away. [5] Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” [6] When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talentsⓘ of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah. [7] So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. [8] When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men. [9] The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field. [10] Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. [11] The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon. [12] He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you. [13] Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.” [14] So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. [15] When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. [16] When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River,§ with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them. [17] David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. [18] The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army. [19] When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.

[1] Now it came to pass after this, H310 that Nahash H5176 the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 died, H4191 and his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. [2] And David H1732 said, H559 I will shew H6213 kindness H2617 unto H413 Hanun H2586 the son H1121 of Nahash, H5176 because H3588 his father H1 shewed H6213 kindness H2617 to me. And David H1732 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to comfort H5162 him concerning his father. H1 So the servants H5650 of David H1732 came H935 into the land H776 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 to Hanun, H2586 to comfort H5162 him. [3] But the princes H8269 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 said H559 to Hanun, H2586 Thinkest H5869§ thou that David H1732 doth honour H3513 H853 thy father, H1 that he hath sent H7971 comforters H5162 unto thee? are not his servants H5650 come H935 unto thee for to search, H2713 and to overthrow, H2015 and to spy out H7270 the land? H776 [4] Wherefore Hanun H2586 took H3947 David’s H1732 H853 servants, H5650 and shaved H1548 them, and cut off H3772 H853 their garments H4063 in the midst H2677 hard by their buttocks, H4667 and sent them away. H7971 [5] Then there went H3212 certain, and told H5046 David H1732 how the men H582 were served. And he sent H7971 to meet H7125 them: for the men H582 were greatly H3966 ashamed. H3637 And the king H4428 said, H559 Tarry H3427 at Jericho H3405 until H5704 your beards H2206 be grown, H6779 and then return. H7725 [6] And when the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 that they had made themselves odious H887§ to David, H1732 Hanun H2586 and the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 sent H7971 a thousand H505 talents H3603 of silver H3701 to hire H7936 them chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 out of H4480 Mesopotamia, H763 and out of Syria-maachah, H758 H4601 and out of Zobah. H6678 [7] So they hired H7936 thirty H7970 and two H8147 thousand H505 chariots, H7393 and the king H4428 of Maachah H4601 and his people; H5971 who came H935 and pitched H2583 before H6440 Medeba. H4311 And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 gathered themselves together H622 from their cities, H5892 and came H935 to battle. H4421 [8] And when David H1732 heard H8085 of it, he sent H7971 H853 Joab, H3097 and all the host H6635 of the mighty men. H1368 [9] And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came out, H3318 and put the battle H4421 in array H6186 before the gate H6607 of the city: H5892 and the kings H4428 that were come H935 were by themselves in the field. H7704 [10] Now when Joab H3097 saw H7200 that the battle H4421 was§ set against him before H6440 and behind, H268 he chose out H977 of all the choice H977§ of Israel, H3478 and put them in array H6186 against H7125 the Syrians. H758 [11] And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 unto the hand H3027 of Abishai H52§ his brother, H251 and they set themselves in array H6186 against H7125 the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983 [12] And he said, H559 If the Syrians H758 be too strong H2388 for me, then thou shalt help H8668 me: but if the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for thee, then I will help H3467 thee. [13] Be of good courage, H2388 and let us behave ourselves valiantly H2388 for our people, H5971 and for the cities H5892 of our God: H430 and let the Lord H3068 do H6213 that which is good H2896 in his sight. H5869 [14] So Joab H3097 and the people H5971 that were with him drew nigh H5066 before H6440 the Syrians H758 unto the battle; H4421 and they fled H5127 before H6440 him. [15] And when the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 that the Syrians H758 were fled, H5127 they likewise fled H5127 before H6440 Abishai H52 his brother, H251 and entered H935 into the city. H5892 Then Joab H3097 came H935 to Jerusalem. H3389 [16] And when the Syrians H758 saw H7200 that they were put to the worse H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 they sent H7971 messengers, H4397 and drew forth H3318 the Syrians H758 that were beyond H5676 the river: H5104ⓘ and Shophach H7780§ the captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Hadarezer H1928 went before H6440 them. [17] And it was told H5046 David; H1732 and he gathered H622 all H3605 Israel, H3478 and passed over H5674 Jordan, H3383 and came H935 upon them, and set the battle in array H6186 against them. So when David H1732 had put the battle H4421 in array H6186 against H7125 the Syrians, H758 they fought H3898 with him. [18] But the Syrians H758 fled H5127 before H6440 Israel; H3478 and David H1732 slew H2026 of the Syrians H758 seven H7651 thousand H505 men which fought in chariots, H7393 and forty H705 thousand H505 footmen, H376 H7273 and killed H4191 Shophach H7780 the captain H8269 of the host. H6635 [19] And when the servants H5650 of Hadarezer H1928 saw H7200 that they were put to the worse H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 they made peace H7999 with H5973 David, H1732 and became his servants: H5647 neither would H14 the Syrians H758 help H3467 H853 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 any more.
