Berean Standard Bible
And
it
cometh
to
pass
after
this
, that
Nahash king of the sons
of
Ammon
dieth,
and his son reigneth
in
his
stead,
Some
time
later
, Nahash king of the Ammonites
died
and was
succeeded
by
his son .
and David saith
, `
I do
kindness with
Hanun son of Nahash, for
his father did
with
me
kindness ;'
and
David sendeth
messengers to comfort
him
concerning his father. And
the
servants of
David
come
in unto
the land of the sons
of
Ammon,
unto
Hanun,
to comfort
him,
And David said
, “
I will
show
kindness to
Hanun son of Nahash, because
his father showed
kindness to
me.”
So
David sent
messengers to console
Hanun
concerning his father. But
when
David’s
servants arrived
in the land of the Ammonites
to console
him,
and
the heads
of the sons
of
Ammon
say
to Hanun, `Is
David
honouring
thy
father,
in
thine
eyes,
because he
hath
sent to
thee
comforters? in
order
to search,
and
to overthrow
, and
to
spy out, the
land,
have
not
his
servants
come
in
unto
thee
? '
the princes
of the Ammonites
said
to Hanun, “Just
because David
has
sent you
comforters ,
do
you
really
believe
he
is
showing
respect
for
your
father
? Have
not
his
servants
come
to you
to explore
the
land
, spy it
out, and
overthrow
it
? ”
And
Hanun taketh
the
servants of
David
, and
shaveth
them,
and
cutteth
their long
robes
in
the
midst
, unto
the buttocks
, and sendeth
them away.
So
Hanun took
David’s
servants, shaved
their beards
, cut
off
their
garments
at
the hips
, and sent
them away.
And
`some'
go,
and declare
to
David concerning
the
men, and
he sendeth
to meet them --
for
the men have
been greatly
ashamed
--
and
the king saith
, `Dwell
in Jericho till
that
your beard
is
grown, then ye
have
returned
. '
When
someone
came
and told
David about
his
men, he sent
messengers
to meet them ,
since
the men had
been thoroughly
humiliated.
The king told
them
, “Stay
in Jericho until
your beards
have
grown back
, and
then return
. ”
And
the sons
of
Ammon
see
that they have
made
themselves
abhorred
by
David, and
Hanun and the sons
of
Ammon
send
a thousand talents of silver ,
to hire to
them,
from Aram-Naharaim, and
from
Aram- Maachah
, and from
Zobah ,
chariots
and
horsemen;
When
the Ammonites
realized
that they had
become
a
stench
to
David, Hanun and the Ammonites
sent
a thousand talents of silver to hire for
themselves
chariots
and
horsemen
from Aram-naharaim, Aram- maacah
, and Zobah .
and
they hire
to
them
two
and
thirty thousand chariots, and
the king of Maachah
and
his people
, and
they
come
in
and encamp
before
Medeba ,
and
the sons
of
Ammon
have
been
gathered
out
of
their cities ,
and come
in
to
the
battle.
So
they hired
for
themselves
thirty -two
thousand chariots, as
well
as
the king of Maacah
with
his troops
, who
came
and camped
near
Medeba while
the Ammonites
came
from
their cities and marched
out
for
battle.
And
David
heareth
, and
sendeth
Joab ,
and all
the host
of the
mighty men ,
On
hearing
this
, David
sent
Joab and the entire
army
of mighty men .
and
the sons
of
Ammon
come
out and set
battle in
array
at the opening
of
the city, and
the kings who have
come `are'
by themselves in the field
.
The Ammonites
marched
out and arrayed
themselves
for
battle at the entrance
to
the city, while
the kings who had
come stayed
by themselves in the open
country
.
And
Joab seeth
that
the
front
of
the battle hath
been
unto
him,
before and behind, and
he chooseth
out
of all
the choice
in
Israel ,
and setteth
in
array
to
meet
Aram,
When
Joab saw
the battle lines
before him
and behind him
, he selected
some
of the best
men
of
Israel and arrayed
them
against
the
Arameans.
and the remnant
of the people
he
hath
given
into
the hand
of Abishai
his brother, and
they
set
in
array
to
meet
the sons
of
Ammon
.
And he
placed
the rest
of the forces
under
the command
of his brother Abishai
, who
arrayed
them
against
the Ammonites
.
And
he
saith,
`
If Aram
be
stronger
than
I
, then thou
hast
been
to me
for
salvation;
and if the sons
of
Ammon
be
stronger
than
thou
, then I have
saved
thee;
“
If the
Arameans
are
too
strong
for
me
, ”
said
Joab,
“
then you
will
come
to my
rescue.
And if the Ammonites
are
too
strong
for
you
, then I will
come
to
your
rescue.
be strong ,
and we
strengthen
ourselves,
for our people ,
and for the cities of our God ,
and
Jehovah
doth
that
which
is good in His eyes
. '
Be strong and let
us
fight
bravely
for our people and for the cities of our God .
May
the
LORD
do
what
is good in His sight
. ”
And
Joab draweth
nigh,
and the people
who
`are'
with
him
, before Aram
to
battle,
and
they
flee
from
his
face;
So
Joab and his
troops
advanced
to
fight
the Arameans
, who
fled
before him.
and
the sons
of
Ammon
have
seen
that Aram
hath
fled, and
they flee
--
they
also
--
from
the
face
of
Abishai
his
brother, and go
in
to
the city. And
Joab cometh
in
to Jerusalem.
When
the Ammonites
saw
that the
Arameans
had
fled, they too
fled
before
Joab’s
brother Abishai
, and they
entered
the city. So
Joab went
back
to Jerusalem.
And
Aram
seeth
that they have
been smitten
before
Israel, and
send
messengers ,
and
bring out
Aram
that
`is'
beyond the River
, and
Shophach head
of
the host
of Hadarezer
`is'
before
them.
When
the
Arameans
saw
that they had
been defeated
by
Israel, they
sent
messengers to
bring more
Arameans
from
beyond the Euphrates
, with
Shophach the commander
of Hadadezer’s
army
leading
them.
And
it
is
declared
to David, and
he gathereth
all Israel, and
passeth
over
the Jordan, and
cometh
in
unto
them
, and setteth
in
array
against them ;
yea,
David setteth
in array
the
battle to
meet
Aram
, and
they fight
with
him ;
When
this
was
reported
to David, he gathered
all Israel, crossed
the Jordan, advanced
toward
the
Arameans
, and arrayed
for
battle
against them .
When
David lined
up
to
engage
them
in battle, they fought
against
him .
and
Aram
fleeth
from
the face
of
Israel, and David slayeth
of
Aram
seven thousand charioteers ,
and forty thousand footmen,
and
Shophach head
of
the host
he
hath
put
to
death
.
But
the Arameans
fled
before
Israel, and David killed
seven thousand of
their
charioteers and forty thousand foot
soldiers.
He
also
killed
Shophach the commander
of
their
army
.
And
the
servants
of
Hadarezer
see
that they have
been smitten
before
Israel, and
they make
peace with David and serve
him ,
and
Aram
hath
not
been
willing
to help the sons
of
Ammon
any
more
.
When
Hadadezer’s
subjects
saw
that they had
been defeated
by
Israel, they made
peace with David and became
subject
to
him .
So
the
Arameans
were
unwilling
to help the Ammonites
anymore
.
