1 Some time later, Nahashking of the Ammonitesdied and was succeeded by his son. 2 And Davidsaid, "I will show kindness to Hanunson of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me."
So Davidsent messengers to console Hanunconcerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonitesto console him, 3 the princes of the Ammonitessaid to Hanun, "Just because Davidhas sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?"
4 So Hanuntook David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 When someone came and told Davidabout his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, "Stay in Jerichountil your beards have grown back, and then return."
6 When the Ammonitesrealized that they had become a stench to David, Hanunand the Ammonitessent a thousand talentsof silver19:6 1,000 talents is approximately 37.7 tons or 34.2 metric tons of silver.to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim,19:6 That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia.Aram-maacah, and Zobah. 7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacahwith his troops, who came and camped near Medebawhile the Ammoniteswere mustered from their cities and marched out for battle.
8 On hearing this, Davidsent Joaband the entire army of mighty men. 9 The Ammonitesmarched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
David Defeats Ammon and Aram
10 When Joabsaw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans. 11 And he placed the rest of the troops under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
12 "If the Arameansare too strong for me," said Joab, "then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonitesare too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue. 13 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight."
14 So Joaband his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him. 15 When the Ammonitessaw that the Arameanshad fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joabwent back to Jerusalem.
16 When the Arameanssaw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameansfrom beyond the Euphrates,19:16 Hebrew the Riverwith Shophach19:16 Shophach is a variant of Shobach; also in verse 18; see 2 Samuel 10:16.the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When Davidlined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him. 18 But the Arameansfled before Israel, and Davidkilled seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophachthe commander of their army.
19 When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Davidand became subject to him. So the Arameanswere unwilling to help the Ammonitesanymore.
