And it came to pass after this,
that the king
of the children
of Ammon
died,
and Hanun
his son
reigned
in his stead.
Then said
David,
I will shew
kindness
unto Hanun
the son
of Nahash,
as his father
shewed
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 the princes
of the children
of Ammon
said
unto Hanun
their lord,
Thinkest
thou that David
doth honour
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?

Wherefore Hanun

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.

When they told
it unto David,
he sent
to meet
them, because the men
were greatly
ashamed:
and the king
said,

be grown,
and then return.

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

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
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.

When Joab
saw
that the front

was against him before
and behind,
he chose

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 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.

Be of good courage,

And Joab
drew nigh,
and the people
that were with him, unto the battle
against the Syrians:
and they fled
before
him.
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 when the Syrians
saw
that they were smitten
before

they gathered
themselves together.
And Hadarezer

the Syrians
that were beyond

and they came
to Helam;
and Shobach
the captain

went before
them.

And when all the kings
that were servants

that they were smitten

they made peace
