Now it came to pass after this,
that Nahash
the king
of the children
of Ammon
died,
and his son
reigned
in his stead.
And David
said,
I will shew
kindness
unto Hanun
the son
of Nahash,
because his father
shewed
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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.
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.
So Joab
and the people
that were with him drew nigh
before
the Syrians
unto the battle;
and they fled
before
him.
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.

And when the Syrians

And it was told
David;
and he gathered

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
