Now it came to pass after this,
H5176
that Nahash
H4428
the king
H1121
of the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H4191
died,
H1121
and his son
H4427
reigned in his place.
2
H1732
And David
H559
said,
H6213
I will show
H2617
kindness
H2586
unto Hanun
H1121
the son
H5176
of Nahash,
H1
because his father
H6213
showed
H2617
kindness
H1732
to me. And David
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H5162
to comfort
H1
him concerning his father.
H5650
So the servants
H1732
of David
H935
came
H776
into the land
H1121
of the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H2586
to Hanun,
H5162
to comfort him.
3
H8269
But the princes
H1121
of the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H559
said
H2586
to Hanun,
H5869
Think
H1732
you that David
H3513
does honor
H1
your father,
H7971
that he has sent
H5162
comforters
H5650
unto you? are not his servants
H935
come
H2713
unto you for to search,
H2015
and to overthrow,
H7270
and to spy out
H776
the land?
4
H2586
Therefore Hanun
H3947
took
H1732
David's
H5650
servants,
H1548
and shaved
H3772
them, and cut off
H4063
their garments
H2677
in the midst
H4667
hard by their buttocks,
H7971
and sent them away.
5
H3212
Then there went
H5046
certain, and told
H1732
David
H582
how the men
H7971
were served. And he sent
H7125
to meet
H582
them: for the men
H3966
were greatly
H3637
ashamed.
H4428
And the king
H559
said,
H3427
Stay
H3405
at Jericho
H2206
until your beards
H6779
be grown,
H7725
and then return.
6
H1121
And when the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H7200
saw
H887
that they had made themselves odious
H1732
to David,
H2586
Hanun
H1121
and the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H7971
sent
H505
a thousand
H3603
talents
H3701
of silver
H7936
to hire
H7393
them chariots
H6571
and horsemen
H763
out of Mesopotamia,
H758
and out of Syria–maachah,
H6678
and out of Zobah.
7
H7936
So they hired
H7970
thirty
H8147
and two
H505
thousand
H7393
chariots,
H4428
and the king
H4601
of Maachah
H5971
and his people;
H935
who came
H2583
and pitched
H6440
before
H4311
Medeba.
H1121
And the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H622
gathered themselves together
H5892
from their cities,
H935
and came
H4421
to battle.
8
H1732
And when David
H8085
heard
H7971
of it, he sent
H3097
Joab,
H6635
and all the army
H1368
of the mighty men.
9
H1121
And the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H3318
came out,
H4421
and put the battle
H6186
in array
H6607
before the gate
H5892
of the city:
H4428
and the kings
H935
that were come
H7704
were by themselves in the field.
10
H3097
Now when Joab
H7200
saw
H4421
that the battle
H6440
was set against him before
H268
and behind,
H977
he chose out
H977
of all the choice
H3478
of Israel,
H6186
and put them in array
H7125
against
H758
the Syrians.
11
H3499
And the rest
H5971
of the people
H5414
he delivered
H3027
unto the hand
H52
of Abishai
H251
his brother,
H6186
and they set themselves in array
H7125
against
H1121
the sons
H5983
of Ammon.
12
H559
And he said,
H758
If the Syrians
H2388
be too strong
H8668
for me, then you shall help
H1121
me: but if the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H2388
be too strong
H3467
for you, then I will help you.
13
H2388
Be of good courage,
H2388
and let us behave ourselves valiantly
H5971
for our people,
H5892
and for the cities
H430
of our God:
H3068
and let the Lord
H6213
do
H2896
that which is good
H5869
in his sight.
14
H3097
So Joab
H5971
and the people
H5066
that were with him drew near
H6440
before
H758
the Syrians
H4421
unto the battle;
H5127
and they fled
H6440
before him.
15
H1121
And when the sons
H5983
of Ammon
H7200
saw
H758
that the Syrians
H5127
were fled,
H5127
they likewise fled
H6440
before
H52
Abishai
H251
his brother,
H935
and entered
H5892
into the city.
H3097
Then Joab
H935
came
H3389
to Jerusalem.
16
H758
And when the Syrians
H7200
saw
H5062
that they were put to the worse
H6440
before
H3478
Israel,
H7971
they sent
H4397
messengers,
H3318
and drew forth
H758
the Syrians
H5676
that were beyond
H5104
the river:
H7780
and Shophach
H8269
the captain
H6635
of the army
H1928
of Hadarezer
H6440
went before them.
17
H5046
And it was told
H1732
David;
H622
and he gathered
H3478
all Israel,
H5674
and passed over
H3383
Jordan,
H935
and came
H6186
upon them, and set the battle in array
H1732
against them. So when David
H4421
had put the battle
H6186
in array
H7125
against
H758
the Syrians,
H3898
they fought with him.
