¹ It happened after this, that the kynge of the chyldren of Amnon dyed, & Hanon his sonne raygned in hys steade. ² Then sayde Dauid: I wyl shew kyndnesse vnto Hanon the sonne of Nahas, as hys father shewed kyndnesse vnto me. And thervpon Dauid sente to conforte hym by the hande of hys seruauntes ouer the death of hys father. Now when Dauids seruauntes were come into the land of the chyldren of Amnon: ³ the Lordes of the chyldren of Amnon sayde vnto Hanon theyr Lorde: thynkest thou that Dauid doth honoure thy father, because he hath sent to comfort the? Naye, he hath rather sent hys seruauntes vnto the, to searche the cytye and to spye out, euen to ouerthrow it. ⁴ Wherfore Hanon toke Dauids seruauntes and shaued of the one halfe of euerye mannes bearde & cut of theyr garmentes euen in the myddle, euen harde by the buttockes of them and sent them awaye. ⁵ When it was tolde Dauid he sent against them (for they were men excedyngly ashamed) & saide: tarye at Iericho vntyll your beerdes be growen, & then returne. ⁶ And when the chyldren of Amnon sawe that they stancke vnto Dauid, they sent & hyred the sonnes of Bethrehob & of the Syryans of Zobah .xx. thousande fote men & of kyng Maacah a thousande men, & of Istob twelue thousande men. ⁷ And when Dauid hearde of it, he sent Ioab & all the host of strong men. ⁸ And the chyldren of Amnon came out & waged battell before the gate & the Syryens of Zobah, of Rehob, Istob and Maacah were by themselues in the feldes. ⁹ When Ioab sawe that the front of the battell was before and after, he chose of all the best of Israell & put them in araye agaynst the Syryens. ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delyuered into the hand of Abisai his brother, which put them in araye agaynst the children of Amnon. ¹¹ And he sayd: yf the Syryens ouercome me, then succoure me. But yf the chyldren of Amnon be to good for the, I wyll come and succoure the, ¹² quyte the lyke a man, and let vs fyght lustely for oure people, & for the cytyes of our God. And the Lorde do what semyth best in hys eyes. ¹³ And forthwyth Ioab proceded & the people that was with him into battell against the Syryens, which fleed before him. ¹⁴ And when the chyldren of Amnon saw that the Syriens were fled, then fled they also before Abisai, and entred into the cytye. And so Ioab returned from the chyldren of Amnon & came to Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And when the Syryens sawe that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they gathered them together. ¹⁶ And Hadadezer sente & brought out the Syryens that were beyound the ryuer. And the host of them came, & Sobah the captayne of the host of Hadadezer before them. ¹⁷ And when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israell, and passed ouer Iordan and came to Helom: where the Syryans put them selues in araye agaynste Dauid and foughte wyth hym: ¹⁸ howe be it the Syryens fled before Israel. And Dauid destroyed seuen hundred charettes of them and fourtye thousand horsmen and smote Sobah the captayne of hys hoste, that he there dyed. ¹⁹ And when all the Kynges that were seruauntes to Hadadezer sawe that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they made peace wyth them, & serued them. And so the Syryens feared to helpe the chyldren of Amnon any more.
