| [1]Now it came to pass after thisH310, that NahashH5176 the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 diedH4191[H8799], and his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8799. |

| [2]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], I will shewH6213[H8799] kindnessH2617 unto HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176, because his fatherH1 shewedH6213[H8804] kindnessH2617 to me. And DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799] messengersH4397 to comfortH5162[H8763] him concerning his fatherH1. So the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 cameH935[H8799] into the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to HanunH2586, to comfortH5162 himH8763. |

| [3]But the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559[H8799] to HanunH2586, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513[H8764] thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971[H8804] comfortersH5162[H8764] unto thee? are not his servantsH5650 comeH935[H8804] unto thee for to searchH2713[H8800], and to overthrowH2015[H8800], and to spy outH7270[H8763] the landH776? |

| [4]Wherefore HanunH2586 tookH3947[H8799] David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and shavedH1548[H8762] them, and cut offH3772[H8799] their garmentsH4063 in the midstH2677 hard by their buttocksH4667, and sent them awayH7971.[H8762] |
[No book] |
| [5]Then there wentH3212[H8799] certain, and toldH5046[H8686] DavidH1732 how the menH582 were served. And he sentH7971[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] them: for the menH582 were greatlyH3966 ashamedH3637[H8737]. And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], TarryH3427[H8798] at JerichoH3405 until your beardsH2206 be grownH6779[H8762], and then returnH7725.[H8804] |

| [6]And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200[H8799] that they had made themselves odiousH887[H8694] to DavidH1732, HanunH2586 and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sentH7971[H8799] a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 to hireH7936[H8800] them chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 out of MesopotamiaH763, and out of SyriamaachahH758[H4601], and out of ZobahH6678. |
[No book] |
| [7]So they hiredH7936[H8799] thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and the kingH4428 of MaachahH4601 and his peopleH5971; who cameH935[H8799] and pitchedH2583[H8799] beforeH6440 MedebaH4311. And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8738] from their citiesH5892, and cameH935[H8799] to battleH4421. |
[No book] |
| [8]And when DavidH1732 heardH8085[H8799] of it, he sentH7971[H8799] JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635 of the mighty menH1368. |
[No book] |
| [9]And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 came outH3318[H8799], and put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186[H8799] before the gateH6607 of the cityH5892: and the kingsH4428 that were comeH935[H8804] were by themselves in the fieldH7704. |
[No book] |
| [10]Now when JoabH3097 sawH7200[H8799] that the battleH4421 was set against him beforeH6440 and behindH268, he chose outH977[H8799] of all the choiceH977[H8803] of IsraelH3478, and put them in arrayH6186[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the SyriansH758. |
[No book] |
| [11]And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he deliveredH5414[H8804] unto the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and they set themselves in arrayH6186[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. |
[No book] |
| [12]And he saidH559[H8799], If the SyriansH758 be too strongH2388[H8799] for me, then thou shalt helpH8668 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 be too strongH2388[H8799] for thee, then I will helpH3467 theeH8689. |
[No book] |
| [13]Be of good courageH2388[H8798], and let us behave ourselves valiantlyH2388[H8691] for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and let the LORDH3068 doH6213[H8799] that which is goodH2896 in his sightH5869. |
[No book] |
| [14]So JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him drew nighH5066[H8799] beforeH6440 the SyriansH758 unto the battleH4421; and they fledH5127[H8799] before himH6440. |
[No book] |
| [15]And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200[H8804] that the SyriansH758 were fledH5127[H8804], they likewise fledH5127[H8799] beforeH6440 AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and enteredH935[H8799] into the cityH5892. Then JoabH3097 cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
| [16]And when the SyriansH758 sawH7200[H8799] that they were put to the worseH5062[H8738] beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they sentH7971[H8799] messengersH4397, and drew forthH3318[H8686] the SyriansH758 that were beyondH5676 the riverH5104: and ShophachH7780 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of HadarezerH1928 went before themH6440. |
[No book] |
| [17]And it was toldH5046[H8714] DavidH1732; and he gatheredH622[H8799] all IsraelH3478, and passed overH5674[H8799] JordanH3383, and cameH935[H8799] upon them, and set the battle in arrayH6186[H8799] against them. So when DavidH1732 had put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the SyriansH758, they foughtH3898 with himH8735. |
[No book] |
| [18]But the SyriansH758 fledH5127[H8799] beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026[H8799] of the SyriansH758 sevenH7651 thousandH505 men which fought in chariotsH7393, and fortyH705 thousandH505 footmenH376[H7273], and killedH4191[H8689] ShophachH7780 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635. |
