 |
| 2 Samuel 10:1 |
|
And it came to pass after this, that the king
of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:2 |
|
And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun
the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. So David sent by his
servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into
the land of the children of Ammon. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:3 |
|
But the princes of the children of Ammon said
unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, in that
he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee
to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:4 |
|
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off
the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to
their buttocks, and sent them away. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:5 |
|
When they told it unto David, he sent to meet
them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until
your beards be grown, and then return. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:6 |
|
And when the children of Ammon saw that they
were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians
of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king
of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:7 |
|
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and
all the host of the mighty men. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:8 |
|
And the children of Ammon came out, and put
the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and
of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:9 |
|
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against
him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them
in array against the Syrians: |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:10 |
|
And the rest of the people he committed into
the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children
of Ammon. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:11 |
|
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for
me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee,
then I will come and help thee. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:12 |
|
Be of good courage, and let us play the man
for ou people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth
him good. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:13 |
|
So Joab and the people that were with him drew
nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:14 |
|
And when the children of Ammon saw that the
Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city.
Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:15 |
|
And when the Syrians saw that they were put
to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:16 |
|
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians
that were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of
the host of Hadarezer at their head. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:17 |
|
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel
together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves
in array against David, and fought with him. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:18 |
|
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David
slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen,
and smote Shobach the captain of their host, so that he died there. |
|
|
|
| 2 Samuel 10:19 |
|
And when all the kings that were servants to
Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with
Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any
more. |
