10:2 Then said [H559] David [H1732] , I will shew [H6213] kindness [H2617] unto Hanun [H2586] the son [H1121] of Nahash [H5176] , as his father [H1] shewed [H6213] kindness [H2617] unto me. And David [H1732] sent [H7971] to comfort [H5162] him by the hand [H3027] of his servants [H5650] for his father [H1] . And David's [H1732] servants [H5650] came [H935] into the land [H776] of the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] .
10:3 And the princes [H8269] of the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] said [H559] unto Hanun [H2586] their lord [H113] , Thinkest [H5869] thou that David [H1732] doth honour [H3513] thy father [H1] , that he hath sent [H7971] comforters [H5162] unto thee? hath not David [H1732] [rather] sent [H7971] his servants [H5650] unto thee, to [H5668] search [H2713] the city [H5892] , and to spy it out [H7270] , and to overthrow [H2015] it?(Thinkest: Heb. In thine eyes doth David?)
10:4 Wherefore Hanun [H2586] took [H3947] David's [H1732] servants [H5650] , and shaved off [H1548] the one half [H2677] of their beards [H2206] , and cut off [H3772] their garments [H4063] in the middle [H2677] , [even] to their buttocks [H8357] , and sent them away [H7971] .
10:5 When they told [H5046] [it] unto David [H1732] , he sent [H7971] to meet [H7125] them, because the men [H582] were greatly [H3966] ashamed [H3637] : and the king [H4428] said [H559] , Tarry [H3427] at Jericho [H3405] until your beards [H2206] be grown [H6779] , and [then] return [H7725] .
10:6 And when the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] saw [H7200] that they stank [H887] before David [H1732] , the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] sent [H7971] and hired [H7936] the Syrians [H758] of Bethrehob [H1050] , and the Syrians [H758] of Zoba [H6678] , twenty [H6242] thousand [H505] footmen [H7273] , and of king [H4428] Maacah [H4601] a thousand [H505] men [H376] , and of Ishtob [H382] twelve [H6240] [H8147] thousand [H505] men [H376] .(Ishtob: or, the men of Tob)
10:7 And when David [H1732] heard [H8085] of [it], he sent [H7971] Joab [H3097] , and all the host [H6635] of the mighty men [H1368] .
10:8 And the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] came out [H3318] , and put the battle [H4421] in array [H6186] at the entering in [H6607] of the gate [H8179] : and the Syrians [H758] of Zoba [H6678] , and of Rehob [H7340] , and Ishtob [H382] , and Maacah [H4601] , [were] by themselves [H905] in the field [H7704] .
10:9 When Joab [H3097] saw [H7200] that the front [H6440] of the battle [H4421] was against him before [H6440] and behind [H268] , he chose [H977] of all the choice [H977] [men] of Israel [H3478] , and put [them] in array [H6186] against [H7125] the Syrians [H758] :
10:10 And the rest [H3499] of the people [H5971] he delivered [H5414] into the hand [H3027] of Abishai [H52] his brother [H251] , that he might put [them] in array [H6186] against [H7125] the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] .
10:11 And he said [H559] , If the Syrians [H758] be too strong [H2388] for me, then thou shalt help [H3444] me: but if the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] be too strong [H2388] for thee, then I will come [H1980] and help [H3467] thee.
10:12 Be of good courage [H2388] , and let us play the men [H2388] for our people [H5971] , and for the cities [H5892] of our God [H430] : and the LORD [H3068] do [H6213] that which seemeth [H5869] him good [H2896] .
10:13 And Joab [H3097] drew nigh [H5066] , and the people [H5971] that [were] with him, unto the battle [H4421] against the Syrians [H758] : and they fled [H5127] before [H6440] him.
10:14 And when the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] saw [H7200] that the Syrians [H758] were fled [H5127] , then fled [H5127] they also before [H6440] Abishai [H52] , and entered [H935] into the city [H5892] . So Joab [H3097] returned [H7725] from the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] , and came [H935] to Jerusalem [H3389] .
10:15 And when the Syrians [H758] saw [H7200] that they were smitten [H5062] before [H6440] Israel [H3478] , they gathered [H622] themselves together [H3162] .
10:16 And Hadarezer [H1928] sent [H7971] , and brought out [H3318] the Syrians [H758] that [were] beyond [H5676] the river [H5104] : and they came [H935] to Helam [H2431] ; and Shobach [H7731] the captain [H8269] of the host [H6635] of Hadarezer [H1928] [went] before [H6440] them.(the river: that is, Euphrates)(Shobach: or, Shophach)
10:17 And when it was told [H5046] David [H1732] , he gathered [H622] all Israel [H3478] together [H622] , and passed over [H5674] Jordan [H3383] , and came [H935] to Helam [H2431] . And the Syrians [H758] set themselves in array [H6186] against [H7125] David [H1732] , and fought [H3898] with him.
10:18 And the Syrians [H758] fled [H5127] before [H6440] Israel [H3478] ; and David [H1732] slew [H2026] [the men of] seven [H7651] hundred [H3967] chariots [H7393] of the Syrians [H758] , and forty [H705] thousand [H505] horsemen [H6571] , and smote [H5221] Shobach [H7731] the captain [H8269] of their host [H6635] , who died [H4191] there.
10:19 And when all the kings [H4428] [that were] servants [H5650] to Hadarezer [H1928] saw [H7200] that they were smitten [H5062] before [H6440] Israel [H3478] , they made peace [H7999] with Israel [H3478] , and served [H5647] them. So the Syrians [H758] feared [H3372] to help [H3467] the children [H1121] of Ammon [H5983] any more.
