Now it came to pass after [0310] this, that Nahash [5176] the king [4428] of the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] died, [4191] and his son [1121] reigned [4427] in his stead.
2
And David [1732] said, [0559] I will shew [6213] kindness [2617] unto Hanun [2586] the son [1121] of Nahash, [5176] because his father [0001] shewed [6213] kindness [2617] to me. And David [1732] sent [7971] messengers [4397] to comfort [5162] him concerning his father. [0001] So the servants [5650] of David [1732] came [0935] into the land [0776] of the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] to Hanun, [2586] to comfort [5162] him.
3
But the princes [8269] of the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] said [0559] to Hanun, [2586] Thinkest [5869] thou that David [1732] doth honour [3513] thy father, [0001] that he hath sent [7971] comforters [5162] unto thee? are not his servants [5650] come [0935] unto thee for to search, [2713] and to overthrow, [2015] and to spy out [7270] the land? [0776]
4
Wherefore Hanun [2586] took [3947] David's [1732] servants, [5650] and shaved [1548] them, and cut off [3772] their garments [4063] in the midst [2677] hard by their buttocks, [4667] and sent them away. [7971]
5
Then there went [3212] [certain], and told [5046] David [1732] how the men [0582] were served. And he sent [7971] to meet [7125] them: for the men [0582] were greatly [3966] ashamed. [3637] And the king [4428] said, [0559] Tarry [3427] at Jericho [3405] until your beards [2206] be grown, [6779] and [then] return. [7725]
6
And when the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] saw [7200] that they had made themselves odious [0887] to David, [1732] Hanun [2586] and the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] sent [7971] a thousand [0505] talents [3603] of silver [3701] to hire [7936] them chariots [7393] and horsemen [6571] out of Mesopotamia, [0763] and out of Syriamaachah, [0758] [4601] and out of Zobah. [6678]
7
So they hired [7936] thirty [7970] and two [8147] thousand [0505] chariots, [7393] and the king [4428] of Maachah [4601] and his people; [5971] who came [0935] and pitched [2583] before [6440] Medeba. [4311] And the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] gathered [0622] themselves together from their cities, [5892] and came [0935] to battle. [4421]
8
And when David [1732] heard [8085] [of it], he sent [7971] Joab, [3097] and all the host [6635] of the mighty men. [1368]
9
And the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] came out, [3318] and put the battle [4421] in array [6186] before the gate [6607] of the city: [5892] and the kings [4428] that were come [0935] [were] by themselves in the field. [7704]
10
Now when Joab [3097] saw [7200] that the [6440] battle [4421] was set against him before [6440] and behind, [0268] he chose [0977] out of all the choice [0977] of Israel, [3478] and put [them] in array [6186] against [7125] the Syrians. [0758]
11
And the rest [3499] of the people [5971] he delivered [5414] unto the hand [3027] of Abishai [0052] his brother, [0251] and they set [themselves] in array [6186] against [7125] the children [1121] of Ammon. [5983]
12
And he said, [0559] If the Syrians [0758] be too strong [2388] for me, then thou shalt help [8668] me: but if the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] be too strong [2388] for thee, then I will help [3467] thee.
13
Be of good courage, [2388] and let us behave ourselves valiantly [2388] for our people, [5971] and for the cities [5892] of our God: [0430] and let the LORD [3068] do [6213] [that which is] good [2896] in his sight. [5869]
14
So Joab [3097] and the people [5971] that [were] with him drew nigh [5066] before [6440] the Syrians [0758] unto the battle; [4421] and they fled [5127] before [6440] him.
15
And when the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] saw [7200] that the Syrians [0758] were fled, [5127] they likewise fled [5127] before [6440] Abishai [0052] his brother, [0251] and entered [0935] into the city. [5892] Then Joab [3097] came [0935] to Jerusalem. [3389]
16
And when the Syrians [0758] saw [7200] that they were put to the worse [5062] before [6440] Israel, [3478] they sent [7971] messengers, [4397] and drew forth [3318] the Syrians [0758] that [were] beyond [5676] the river: [5104] and Shophach [7780] the captain [8269] of the host [6635] of Hadarezer [1928] [went] before [6440] them.
17
And it was told [5046] David; [1732] and he gathered [0622] all Israel, [3478] and passed over [5674] Jordan, [3383] and came [0935] upon them, and set [the battle] in array [6186] against them. So when David [1732] had put the battle [4421] in array [6186] against [7125] the Syrians, [0758] they fought [3898] with him.
18
But the Syrians [0758] fled [5127] before [6440] Israel; [3478] and David [1732] slew [2026] of the Syrians [0758] seven [7651] thousand [0505] [men which fought in] chariots, [7393] and forty [0705] thousand [0505] footmen, [0376] [7273] and killed [4191] Shophach [7780] the captain [8269] of the host. [6635]
19
And when the servants [5650] of Hadarezer [1928] saw [7200] that they were put to the worse [5062] before [6440] Israel, [3478] they made peace [7999] with David, [1732] and became his servants: [5647] neither would [0014] the Syrians [0758] help [3467] the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] any more.
