1 Chronicles 19:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Afterward Nahash, king of the Ammonites, died and his son succeeded him as king.
2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, for his father treated me with kindness." Therefore he sent envoys to him to comfort him over the death of his father. But when David's servants had entered the land of the Ammonites to comfort Hanun,
3 the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, "Do you think David is doing this-- sending you these consolers-- to honor your father? Have not his servants rather come to you to explore the land, spying it out for its overthrow?"
4 Thereupon Hanun seized David's servants and had them shaved and their garments cut off half-way at the hips. Then he sent them away.
5 When David was informed of what had happened to his men, he sent messengers to meet them, for the men had been greatly disgraced. "Remain at Jericho," the king told them, "until your beards have grown again; and then you may come back here."
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had put themselves in bad odor with David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram Naharaim, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.
7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots along with the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. The Ammonites also assembled from their cities and came out for war.
8 When David heard of this, he sent Joab and his whole army of warriors against them.
9 The Ammonites marched out and lined up for a battle at the gate of the city, while the kings who had come to their help remained apart in the open field.
10 When Joab saw that there was a battle line both in front of and behind him, he chose some of the best fighters among the Israelites and set them in array against the Arameans;
11 the rest of the army, which he placed under the command of his brother Abishai, then lined up to oppose the Ammonites.
12 And he said: "If the Arameans prove too strong for me, you must come to my help; and if the Ammonites prove too strong for you, I will save you.
13 Hold steadfast and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and the cities of our God; then may the LORD do what seems best to him."
14 Joab therefore advanced with his men to engage the Arameans in battle; but they fled before him.
15 And when the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they also took to flight before his brother Abishai, and reentered the city. Joab then returned to Jerusalem.
16 Seeing themselves vanquished by Israel, the Arameans sent messengers to bring out the Arameans from the other side of the River, with Shophach, the general of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and met them. With the army of David drawn up to fight the Arameans, they gave battle.
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David slew seven thousand of their chariot fighters and forty thousand of their foot soldiers; he also killed Shophach, the general of the army.
19 When the vassals of Hadadezer saw themselves vanquished by Israel, they made peace with David and became his subjects. After this, the Arameans refused to come to the aid of the Ammonites.
1 Now it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS after H310 PREP this H3651 ADV , that Nahash H5176 the king H4428 NMS of the children H1121 CMS-3MS of Ammon H5983 died H4191 W-VQY3MS , and his son H1121 CMS-3MS reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
2 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will show H6213 VQY1MS kindness H2617 NMS unto H5973 PREP Hanun H2586 the son H1121 of Nahash H5176 , because H3588 CONJ his father H1 CMS-3MS showed H6213 VQQ3MS kindness H2617 NMS to H5973 me . And David H1732 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 to comfort H5162 him concerning H5921 PREP his father H1 CMS-3MS . So the servants H5650 of David H1732 came H935 W-VQY3MP into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 to H413 PREP Hanun H2586 , to comfort H5162 him .
3 But the princes H8269 CMP of the children H1121 CMP of Ammon H5983 said H559 W-VQY3MP to Hanun H2586 , Thinkest H5869 thou that David H1732 doth honor H3513 thy father H1 NMS , that H3588 CONJ he hath sent H7971 VQQ3MS comforters H5162 unto thee ? are not H3808 I-NADV his servants H5650 come H935 VQQ3MP unto H413 thee for H5668 B-NMS to search H2713 , and to overthrow H2015 , and to spy out H7270 the land H776 D-GFS ?
4 Wherefore Hanun H2586 took H3947 W-VQY3MS David H1732 \'s servants H5650 , and shaved H1548 them , and cut off H3772 their garments H4063 in the midst H2677 hard by H5704 PREP their buttocks H4667 , and sent them away H7971 .
5 Then there went H1980 W-VQY3MP certain , and told H5046 David H1732 how H5921 PREP the men H376 were served . And he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to meet H7125 them : for H3588 CONJ the men H376 were H1961 VQQ3MP greatly H3966 ADV ashamed H3637 . And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Tarry H3427 at Jericho H3405 until H5704 PREP your beards H2206 be grown H6779 , and then return H7725 .
6 And when the children H1121 W-CMP of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ they had made themselves odious H887 to H5973 PREP David H1732 , Hanun H2586 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Ammon H5983 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS a thousand H505 W-BMS talents H3603 CFS of silver H3701 NMS to hire H7936 them chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 out of H4480 PREP Mesopotamia H763 , and out of H4480 PREP Syria H758 - maachah , and out of Zobah H6678 .
7 So they hired H7936 thirty H7970 W-MMP and two H8147 ONUM thousand H505 W-BMS chariots H7393 , and the king H4428 NMS of Maachah H4601 and his people H5971 ; who came H935 W-VQY3MP and pitched H2583 before H6440 L-CMP Medeba H4311 . And the children H1121 W-CMP of Ammon H5983 gathered themselves together H622 from their cities H5892 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to battle H4421 .
8 And when David H1732 heard H8085 of it , he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS Joab H3097 , and all H3605 NMS the host H6635 NMS of the mighty men H1368 .
9 And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came out H3318 W-VQY3MP , and put the battle in array H6186 W-VQY3MP before the gate H6607 CMS of the city H5892 D-GFS : and the kings H4428 WD-NMP that H834 RPRO were come H935 VQQ3MP were by themselves H905 L-CMS-3MP in the field H7704 .
10 Now when Joab H3097 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ the battle H6440 CMP was set H1961 VQQ3FS against H413 PREP-3MS him before H6440 NMP and behind H268 W-NMS , he chose H977 W-VQY3MS out of all H3605 M-CMS the choice H977 W-VQY3MS of Israel H3478 , and put them in array H6186 against H7125 L-VQFC the Syrians H758 .
11 And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 VQQ3MS unto the hand H3027 B-CFS of Abishai H52 his brother H251 CMS-3MS , and they set themselves in array H6186 against H7125 L-VQFC the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 .
12 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , If H518 PART the Syrians H758 EMS be too strong H2388 for H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , then thou shalt help H1961 W-VQQ2MS me : but if H518 PART the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for H4480 PREP-2MS thee , then I will help H3467 thee .
13 Be of good courage H2388 , and let us behave ourselves valiantly H2388 for H1157 W-PREP our people H5971 , and for H1157 W-PREP the cities H5892 of our God H430 : and let the LORD H3068 W-EDS do H6213 VQY3MS that which is good H2896 D-NMS in his sight H5869 B-CMD-3MS .
14 So Joab H3097 and the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H5973 PREP-3MS him drew nigh H5066 before H6440 L-CMP the Syrians H758 EMS unto the battle H4421 ; and they fled H5127 before H6440 L-CMP him .
15 And when the children H1121 W-CMP of Ammon H5983 saw H7200 VQQ3MP that H3588 CONJ the Syrians H758 EMS were fled H5127 , they H1992 PPRO-3MP likewise H1571 CONJ fled H5127 before H6440 M-CMP Abishai H52 his brother H251 CMS-3MS , and entered H935 W-VQY3MP into the city H5892 . Then Joab H3097 came H935 W-VQY3MS to Jerusalem H3389 .
16 And when the Syrians H758 EMS saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ they were put to the worse H5062 before H6440 L-CMP Israel H3478 , they sent H7971 messengers H4397 , and drew forth the Syrians H758 EMS that H834 RPRO were beyond H5676 M-CMS the river H5104 D-NMS : and Shophach H7780 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Hadarezer H1928 went before H6440 L-CMP them .
17 And it was told H5046 David H1732 ; and he gathered H622 all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 , and passed over H5674 W-VQY3MS Jordan H3383 D-EFS , and came H935 W-VQY3MS upon H413 PREP-3MS them , and set the battle in array H6186 against H413 PREP-3MS them . So when David H1732 had put the battle in array H6186 against H7125 L-VQFC the Syrians H758 EMS , they fought H3898 with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
18 But the Syrians H758 EMS fled H5127 before H6440 ML-CMP Israel H3478 ; and David H1732 slew H2026 of the Syrians H758 seven H7651 RMS thousand H505 MMP men which fought in chariots H7393 , and forty H705 W-MMP thousand H505 W-BMS footmen H376 NMS , and killed H4191 Shophach H7780 the captain H8269 of the host H6635 .
19 And when the servants H5650 of Hadarezer H1928 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ they were put to the worse H5062 before H6440 L-CMP Israel H3478 , they made peace H7999 with H5973 PREP David H1732 , and became his servants H5647 : neither H3808 W-NPAR would H14 the Syrians H758 EMS help H3467 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 any more H5750 ADV .
