Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέθανεν βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμών, καἰ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἁνὰν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ εἶπεν Δαυείδ ἰοιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ Ἀνὰν υἱοῦ Ἀνάς, ὡς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους Δαυεὶδ τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἦλθον παῖδες Δαυεὶδ εἰς γῆν υἱῶν Ἀμμων τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτόν.

καὶ εἶπον ἄρχοντες Ἄμμὼν πρὸς Ἁνάν Μὴ δοξάζων τὸν πατέρα σου ἐναντίον σου ἀπέστειλέν σοι παρακα οὐχ ὅπως ἐξεραυνήσαωσιν τὴν πόλιν τοῦ κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν γῆν ἥλθον παῖδες αὐτοῦ πρὸς σέ;

καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀνὰν τοὺς παῖδας Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐξύρησεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τῶν μανδυῶν αὐτῶν τὸ ἥμισυ ἕως τῆς ἀναβολῆς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς.

καὶ ἥλθον ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Δαυεὶδ περὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἦσαν ἠτιμωμένοι σφόδρα· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς Καθίσατε ἐν Ἰερειχὼ ἕως τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς πώγωνας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀνακάμψατε.

καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἄμμων ὅτι ᾐσχύνθη λαὸς Δαυείδ· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀνὰν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἄμμων χίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου τοῦ μισθώσασθαι ἑαυτοῖς ἐκ Συρίας Μεσοποταμίας καὶ ἐκ Συρίας Μοοχὰ καὶ παρὰ Σωβὰλ ἄρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς.

καὶ ἐμισθώσαντο ἑαυτοῖς ἄρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς, δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Μωχὰ κπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἥλθον καὶ παρενέβαλον κατέναντι Μαιδαβά· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμων συνήχθησαν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν καὶ ἥλθον εἰς ¹³ τὸ πολεμῆσαι.

καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυείδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸν Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στρατείαν τῶν δυνατῶν.

καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἄμμων καὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον παρὰ τὸν πυλῶνα τῆς πόλεως· καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ ἐλθόντες παρενέβαλον καθʼ αυτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ·

καὶ εἶδεν Ἰοὰβ ὅτι γεγόνασιν ἀντιπρόσωποι τοῦ πολεμεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐξόπισθεν· καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἐκ παντὸς νεανίου ἐξ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐναντίον τοῦ Σύρου.

καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξ ἐναντίας υἱῶν Ἀμμων.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἐὰν κρατήκῃ ὑπέρ ἐμέ Σύρος, καὶ ἔσῃ μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν· καὶ ἐὰν υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν κρατήσωσιν ὑπέρ σέ, καὶ σώσαω σε.

καὶ Κύριος τὸ ἀγαθὸν ποιήσει.

καὶ παρετάξατο Ἰωὰβ καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ κατέναντι Σύρων εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμῶν εἶδον ὅτι ἔφυγον Σύροι, καὶ ἔφυγον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰωὰβ καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἥλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ ἤλθεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ εἶδεν Σύρος ὅτι ἐτροπώσατο αὐτὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ἀγγέλους· καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν Σύρον ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ Σωφὰρ ἀρχιστράτηγος δυνάμεως Ἀδραάζαρ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἀπηγγελη τῷ Δαυείδ, καὶ συνήγαγεν τὸν πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ ἥλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καὶ παρετάξατο ἐπʼ αὐτούς· καὶ ⁴ παρατάσσεται Σύρος ἐξ ἐναντίας Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτόν.

καὶ ἔφυγεν Σύρος ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυείδ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν Δαυεὶδ ἀπὸ τοῦ Σύρου ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων καὶ τεσσεράκοντα χιλιάδας πεζῶν, καὶ τὸν Σαφὰθ ἀρχιστράτηγον δυνάμεως ἀπέκτεινεν.

καὶ εἶδον παῖδες Ἁδραάζαρ ὅτι ἐπταίκασιν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέθεντο μετὰ Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Σύρος τοῦ βοηθῆσαι Ἀμμὼν ἔτι.

It happened after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shown kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Think you that David does honor your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Aren’t his servants come to you to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, Stay at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah.

So they hired them thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

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.

The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

He said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then I will help you.

Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Yahweh do that which seems him good.

So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

When the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.

It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

When the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
