1 Some time later, the king of the Ammonitesdied and was succeeded by his son Hanun. 2 And Davidsaid, "I will show kindness to Hanunson of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me."
So Davidsent some of his servants to console Hanunconcerning his father. But when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites, 3 the princes of the Ammonitessaid to Hanuntheir lord, "Just because Davidhas sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not Davidinstead sent his servants to explore the city, spy it out, and overthrow it?"
4 So Hanuntook David’s servants, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
5 When this was reported to David, he sent messengers to meet the men, since they 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, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehoband Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the king of Maacahand twelve thousand men from Tob.
7 On hearing this, Davidsent Joaband the entire army of mighty men. 8 The Ammonitesmarched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans of Zobahand Rehoband the men of Toband Maacahwere by themselves in the open country.
David Defeats Ammon and Aram
9 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. 10 And he placed the rest of the troops under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
11 "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. 12 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."
13 So Joaband his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him. 14 When the Ammonitessaw that the Arameanshad fled, they too fled before Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joabreturned from fighting against the Ammonitesand came to Jerusalem.
15 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped. 16 Hadadezersent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates,10:16 Hebrew the Riverand they came to Helamwith Shobach10:16 Shobach is a variant of Shophach; see 1 Chronicles 19:16.the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameansarrayed themselves against Davidand fought against him. 18 But the Arameansfled before Israel, and Davidkilled seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers.10:18 Some LXX manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 19:18); Hebrew horsemenHe also struck down Shobachthe commander of their army, who died there.
19 When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezersaw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameanswere afraid to help the Ammonitesanymore.
