King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And it came
to pass after
this
, that the king of the children
of
Ammon died
, and Hanun his son reigned
in his stead .
And it cometh
to pass afterwards
, that the king of the Bene-
Ammon dieth
, and Hanun his son reigneth
in his stead ,
Then
said
David, I will
show
kindness unto
Hanun the
son of Nahash, as his father showed
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.
and
David saith
, `
I do
kindness with
Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did
with
me kindness;'
and David sendeth
to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning
his father ,
and the
servants of
David
come
in
to
the land of the Bene-
Ammon.
And the princes
of the children
of
Ammon said
unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest
thou
that
David doth
honor
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?
And the heads
of the Bene-
Ammon say
unto Hanun their lord, `Is
David honouring
thy father in
thine
eyes
because
he hath sent to
thee comforters
? for
to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it ,
hath
not
David
sent
his
servants
unto
thee
? '
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 .
And
Hanun taketh
the
servants of
David
, and shaveth
off the half of their beard
, and cutteth
off their long
robes
in the midst
--
unto
their buttocks, and sendeth
them away ;
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
.
and
they declare
`
it '
to
David, and
he sendeth
to meet them, for
the men have
been
greatly ashamed ,
and the king saith
, `Abide
in
Jericho till
your beard
doth
spring
up
--
then ye
have
returned
. '
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 .
And the Bene-
Ammon see
that they have
been
abhorred
by
David, and
the Bene-
Ammon send
and hire
Aram
of Beth-Rehob,
and Aram
of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the
king of
Maacah `with'
a thousand men, and Ish-Tob
`with'
twelve thousand men ;
And when
David heard
of
it
, he
sent
Joab, and all the host of
the mighty men.
and David heareth
, and
sendeth
Joab, and all the host --
the mighty men.
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 .
And the Bene-
Ammon come
out, and set
battle in array ,
at the opening
of the gate ,
and Aram
of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob
, and Maacah, `are'
by themselves in the field ;
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:
and
Joab seeth
that the front of the battle hath
been
unto
him before and behind, and
he chooseth
of all the chosen
in
Israel, and setteth
in array to
meet
Aram,
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.
and the rest of the people he hath
given
into the hand of Abishai his brother, and
setteth
in array to
meet
the Bene-
Ammon.
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 .
And he saith
, `
If Aram
be stronger
than
I
, then thou hast
been
to
me for
salvation,
and
if the Bene-
Ammon be stronger
than
thou
, then I have
come to
give
salvation
to
thee ;
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.
be strong
and strengthen
thyself
for our people, and for the cities of our God ,
and Jehovah
doth
that which is
good in
His
eyes
. '
And Joab drew
nigh, and the people that
were
with him, unto
the
battle against the
Syrians:
and they fled
before
him.
And Joab draweth
nigh, and the people who
`are'
with him, to
battle against Aram,
and they flee
from
his
presence;
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.
and the Bene-
Ammon have
seen
that Aram
hath
fled, and
they flee
from
the
presence
of
Abishai, and go
in
to
the city ;
and
Joab turneth
back
from the Bene-
Ammon, and cometh
in
to Jerusalem.
And when
the
Syrians
saw
that they
were
smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves
together .
And Aram
seeth
that it
is
smitten before Israel, and
they are
gathered together ;
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.
and Hadadezer
sendeth
, and bringeth
out Aram
which
`is'
beyond the River ,
and they come
in
to Helam ,
and Shobach head
of the host of Hadadezer
`is'
before them.
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 .
And it is
declared
to
David, and
he gathereth
all Israel, and passeth
over the
Jordan, and cometh
in
to Helam ,
and Aram
setteth
itself
in array to
meet
David, and they
fight
with him ;
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.
and Aram
fleeth
from
the presence
of
Israel ,
and David slayeth
of Aram
seven hundred charioteers
, and forty thousand horsemen, and Shobach head
of its
host he
hath
smitten
, and
he
dieth
there.
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.
And all the kings --
servants of
Hadadezer
--
see
that they have
been
smitten before Israel, and
make
peace with Israel, and serve
them ;
and
Aram
is
afraid
to help any more the
Bene-Ammon
.
