2 Samuel 10:2 (KJV) King James Version

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 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Wherefore 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.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
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.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
1 And it came to pass H1961 after H310 this, H3651 that the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 died, H4191 and Hanun H2586 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
2 Then said H559 David, H1732 I will show H6213 kindness H2617 unto H5973 Hanun H2586 the son H1121 of Nahash, H5176 as H834 his father H1 showed H6213 kindness H2617 unto H5973 me . And David H1732 sent H7971 to comfort H5162 him by the hand H3027 of his servants H5650 for H413 his father. H1 And David's H1732 servants H5650 came H935 into the land H776 of the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983
3 And the princes H8269 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 said H559 unto H413 Hanun H2586 their lord, H113 Thinkest H5869 thou that David H1732 doth honor H3513 H853 thy father, H1 that H3588 he hath sent H7971 comforters H5162 unto thee? hath not H3808 David H1732 rather sent H7971 H853 his servants H5650 unto H413 thee, to H5668 search H2713 H853 the city, H5892 and to spy it out, H7270 and to overthrow H2015 it?
4 Wherefore Hanun H2586 took H3947 David's H1732 H853 servants, H5650 and shaved off H1548 the H853 one half H2677 of their beards, H2206 and cut off H3772 H853 their garments H4063 in the middle, H2677 even to H5704 their buttocks, H8357 and sent them away. H7971
5 When they told H5046 it unto David, H1732 he sent H7971 to meet H7125 them, because H3588 the men H376 were H1961 greatly H3966 ashamed: H3637 and the king H4428 said, H559 Tarry H3427 at Jericho H3405 until H5704 your beards H2206 be grown, H6779 and then return. H7725
6 And when the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 that H3588 they stank H887 before David, H1732 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 sent H7971 and hired H7936 H853 the Syrians H758 of Beth- H1050 rehob , and the Syrians H758 of Zoba, H6678 twenty H6242 thousand H505 footmen, H7273 and of king H4428 Maacah H4601 a thousand H505 men, H376 and of Ish- H382 tob twelve H8147 H6240 thousand H505 men. H376
7 And when David H1732 heard H8085 of it , he sent H7971 H853 Joab, H3097 and all H3605 the host H6635 of the mighty men. H1368
8 And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came out, H3318 and put the battle H4421 in array H6186 at the entering H6607 in of the gate: H8179 and the Syrians H758 of Zoba, H6678 and of Rehob, H7340 and Ishtob, H382 and Maacah, H4601 were by themselves H905 in the field. H7704
9 When Joab H3097 saw H7200 that H3588 the front H6440 of the battle H4421 was H1961 against H413 him before H4480 H6440 and behind H4480 H268 , he chose H977 of all H4480 H3605 the choice H977 men of Israel, H3478 and put them in array H6186 against H7125 the Syrians: H758
10 And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of Abishai H52 his brother, H251 that he might put them in array H6186 against H7125 the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983
11 And he said, H559 If H518 the Syrians H758 be too strong H2388 for H4480 me , then thou shalt H1961 help H3444 me : but if H518 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for H4480 thee , then I will come H1980 and help H3467 thee.
12 Be of good courage, H2388 and let us play the men H2388 for H1157 our people, H5971 and for H1157 the cities H5892 of our God: H430 and the LORD H3068 do H6213 that which seemeth H5869 him good. H2896
13 And Joab H3097 drew nigh, H5066 and the people H5971 that H834 were with H5973 him , unto the battle H4421 against the Syrians: H758 and they fled H5127 before H4480 H6440 him.
14 And when the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 that H3588 the Syrians H758 were fled, H5127 then fled H5127 they also before H4480 H6440 Abishai, H52 and entered H935 into the city. H5892 So Joab H3097 returned H7725 from H4480 H5921 the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and came H935 to Jerusalem. H3389
15 And when the Syrians H758 saw H7200 that H3588 they were smitten H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 they gathered themselves H622 together. H3162
16 And Hadarezer H1928 sent, H7971 and brought out H3318 H853 the Syrians H758 that H834 were beyond H4480 H5676 the river: H5104 and they came H935 to Helam; H2431 and Shobach H7731 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Hadarezer H1928 went before H6440 them.
17 And when it was told H5046 David, H1732 he gathered all Israel together H622 H853 H3605 H3478 , and passed over H5674 H853 Jordan, H3383 and came H935 to Helam. H2431 And the Syrians H758 set themselves in array H6186 against H7125 David, H1732 and fought H3898 with H5973 him.
18 And the Syrians H758 fled H5127 before H4480 H6440 Israel; H3478 and David H1732 slew H2026 the men of seven H7651 hundred H3967 chariots H7393 of the Syrians H4480 H758 , and forty H705 thousand H505 horsemen, H6571 and smote H5221 Shobach H7731 the captain H8269 of their host, H6635 who died H4191 there. H8033
19 And when all H3605 the kings H4428 that were servants H5650 to Hadarezer H1928 saw H7200 that H3588 they were smitten H5062 before H6440 Israel, H3478 they made peace H7999 with H854 Israel, H3478 and served H5647 them . So the Syrians H758 feared H3372 to help H3467 H853 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 any more. H5750
