1CH-19:1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of
the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
1CH-19:2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son
of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David
sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the
servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to
Hanun, to comfort him.
1CH-19:3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun,
Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath
sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee
for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
1CH-19:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them,
and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks,
and sent them away.
1CH-19:5 Then there went [certain], and told David how the men
were served. And 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.
1CH-19:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made
themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent
a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen
out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
1CH-19:7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the
king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before
Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together
from their cities, and came to battle.
1CH-19:8 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the
host of the mighty men.
1CH-19:9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle
in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were
come [were] by themselves in the field.
1CH-19:10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him
before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and
put [them] in array against the Syrians.
1CH-19:11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand
of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array
against the children of Ammon.
1CH-19:12 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 help thee.
1CH-19:13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves
valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let
the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.
1CH-19:14 So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh
before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
1CH-19:15 And 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.
1CH-19:16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the
worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the
Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain
of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
1CH-19:17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and
passed over Jordan, and came upon 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.
1CH-19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of
the Syrians seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots, and
forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the
host.
1CH-19:19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were
put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and
became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children
of Ammon any more.
