18:1

Now after this
<0310>

it came to pass, that David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and subdued
<03665> (8686)

them, and took
<03947> (8799)

Gath
<01661>

and her towns
<01323>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

18:2

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

Moab
<04124>_;

and the Moabites
<04124>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

[and] brought
<05375> (8802)

gifts
<04503>_.

18:3

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>

unto Hamath
<02574>_,

as he went
<03212> (8800)

to stablish
<05324> (8687)

his dominion
<03027>

by the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_.

{Hadarezer: or, Hadadezer}

18:4

And David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

from him a thousand
<0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<0376> <07273>_:

David
<01732>

also houghed
<06131> (8762)

all the chariot
<07393>

[horses], but reserved
<03498> (8686)

of them an hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>_.

{seven...: or, seven hundred}

18:5

And when the Syrians
<0758>

of Damascus
<01834>

came
<0935> (8799)

to help
<05826> (8800)

Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>_,

David
<01732>

slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Syrians
<0758>

two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}

18:6

Then David
<01732>

put
<07760> (8799)

[garrisons] in Syriadamascus
<0758> <01834>_;

and the Syrians
<0758>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

[and] brought
<05375> (8802)

gifts
<04503>_.

Thus the LORD
<03068>

preserved
<03467> (8686)

David
<01732>

whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.

18:7

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the shields
<07982>

of gold
<02091>

that were on the servants
<05650>

of Hadarezer
<01928>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

18:8

Likewise from Tibhath
<02880>_,

and from Chun
<03560>_,

cities
<05892>

of Hadarezer
<01928>_,

brought
<03947> (8804)

David
<01732>

very
<03966>

much
<07227>

brass
<05178>_,

wherewith Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8804)

the brasen
<05178>

sea
<03220>_,

and the pillars
<05982>_,

and the vessels
<03627>

of brass
<05178>_.

{Tibhath...: called in the book of Samuel Betah, and Berothai}

18:9

Now when Tou
<08583>

king
<04428>

of Hamath
<02574>

heard
<08085> (8799)

how David
<01732>

had smitten
<05221> (8689)

all the host
<02428>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>_;

{Tou: also called, Toi}

18:10

He sent
<07971> (8799)

Hadoram
<01913>

his son
<01121>

to king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

to enquire
<07592> (8800)

of his welfare
<07965>_,

and to congratulate
<01288> (8763)

him, because he had fought
<03898> (8738)

against Hadarezer
<01928>_,

and smitten
<05221> (8686)

him; (for Hadarezer
<01928>

had war
<0376> <04421>

with Tou
<08583>;)

and [with him] all manner of vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>

and brass
<05178>_.

{Hadoram: also called, Joram} {to enquire...: or, to salute} {to congratulate: Heb. to bless} {had war: Heb. was the man of wars}

18:11

Them also king
<04428>

David
<01732>

dedicated
<06942> (8689)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

with the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

that he brought
<05375> (8804)

from all [these] nations
<01471>_;

from Edom
<0123>_,

and from Moab
<04124>_,

and from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and from the Philistines
<06430>_,

and from Amalek
<06002>_.

18:12

Moreover Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

slew
<05221> (8689)

of the Edomites
<0123>

in the valley
<01516>

of salt
<04417>

eighteen
<08083> <06240>

thousand
<0505>_.

{Abishai: Heb. Abshai}

18:13

And he put
<07760> (8799)

garrisons
<05333>

in Edom
<0123>_;

and all the Edomites
<0123>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_.

Thus the LORD
<03068>

preserved
<03467> (8686)

David
<01732>

whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.

18:14

So David
<01732>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over all Israel
<03478>_,

and executed
<06213> (8802)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>

among all his people
<05971>_.

18:15

And Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

[was] over the host
<06635>_;

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the son
<01121>

of Ahilud
<0286>_,

recorder
<02142> (8688)_.

{recorder: or, remembrancer}

18:16

And Zadok
<06659>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

and Abimelech
<040>

the son
<01121>

of Abiathar
<054>_,

[were] the priests
<03548>_;

and Shavsha
<07798>

was scribe
<05608> (8802)_;

{Abimelech: also called, Ahimelech} {Shavsha: also called Seraiah or Shisha}

18:17

And Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

[was] over the Cherethites
<03774>

and the Pelethites
<06432>_;

and the sons
<01121>

of David
<01732>

[were] chief
<07223>

about
<03027>

the king
<04428>_.

{about...: Heb. at the hand of the king}

19:1

Now it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Nahash
<05176>

the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

19:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

unto Hanun
<02586>

the son
<01121>

of Nahash
<05176>_,

because his father
<01>

shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

to me. And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him concerning his father
<01>_.

So the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to Hanun
<02586>_,

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him.

19:3

But the princes
<08269>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Hanun
<02586>_,

Thinkest
<05869>

thou that David
<01732>

doth honour
<03513> (8764)

thy father
<01>_,

that he hath sent
<07971> (8804)

comforters
<05162> (8764)

unto thee? are not his servants
<05650>

come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee for to search
<02713> (8800)_,

and to overthrow
<02015> (8800)_,

and to spy out
<07270> (8763)

the land
<0776>_?

{Thinkest...: Heb. In thine eyes doth David, etc}

19:4

Wherefore Hanun
<02586>

took
<03947> (8799)

David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

and shaved
<01548> (8762)

them, and cut off
<03772> (8799)

their garments
<04063>

in the midst
<02677>

hard by their buttocks
<04667>_,

and sent them away
<07971> (8762)_.

19:5

Then there went
<03212> (8799)

[certain], and told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

how the men
<0582>

were served. And he sent
<07971> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them: for the men
<0582>

were greatly
<03966>

ashamed
<03637> (8737)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tarry
<03427> (8798)

at Jericho
<03405>

until your beards
<02206>

be grown
<06779> (8762)_,

and [then] return
<07725> (8804)_.

19:6

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they had made themselves odious
<0887> (8694)

to David
<01732>_,

Hanun
<02586>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

sent
<07971> (8799)

a thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>

to hire
<07936> (8800)

them chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>

out of Mesopotamia
<0763>_,

and out of Syriamaachah
<0758> <04601>_,

and out of Zobah
<06678>_.

{odious: Heb. to stink}

19:7

So they hired
<07936> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Maachah
<04601>

and his people
<05971>_;

who came
<0935> (8799)

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

before
<06440>

Medeba
<04311>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

from their cities
<05892>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to battle
<04421>_.

19:8

And when David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], he sent
<07971> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

and all the host
<06635>

of the mighty men
<01368>_.

19:9

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

came out
<03318> (8799)_,

and put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

before the gate
<06607>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the kings
<04428>

that were come
<0935> (8804)

[were] by themselves in the field
<07704>_.

19:10

Now when Joab
<03097>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the battle
<04421>

was set against him before
<06440>

and behind
<0268>_,

he chose out
<0977> (8799)

of all the choice
<0977> (8803)

of Israel
<03478>_,

and put [them] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_.

{the battle...: Heb. the face of the battle was} {choice: or, young men}

19:11

And the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

he delivered
<05414> (8804)

unto the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they set [themselves] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

{Abishai: Heb. Abshai}

19:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the Syrians
<0758>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for me, then thou shalt help
<08668>

me: but if the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for thee, then I will help
<03467> (8689)

thee.

19:13

Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_,

and let us behave ourselves valiantly
<02388> (8691)

for our people
<05971>_,

and for the cities
<05892>

of our God
<0430>_:

and let the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in his sight
<05869>_.

19:14

So Joab
<03097>

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him drew nigh
<05066> (8799)

before
<06440>

the Syrians
<0758>

unto the battle
<04421>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

19:15

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that the Syrians
<0758>

were fled
<05127> (8804)_,

they likewise fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

Then Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

19:16

And when the Syrians
<0758>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were put to the worse
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and drew forth
<03318> (8686)

the Syrians
<0758>

that [were] beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_:

and Shophach
<07780>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

[went] before
<06440>

them. {river: that is, Euphrates} {Shophach: also called, Shobach}

19:17

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

David
<01732>_;

and he gathered
<0622> (8799)

all Israel
<03478>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

upon them, and set [the battle] in array
<06186> (8799)

against them. So when David
<01732>

had put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_,

they fought
<03898> (8735)

with him.

19:18

But the Syrians
<0758>

fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and David
<01732>

slew
<02026> (8799)

of the Syrians
<0758>

seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

[men which fought in] chariots
<07393>_,

and forty
<0705>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<0376> <07273>_,

and killed
<04191> (8689)

Shophach
<07780>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_.

19:19

And when the servants
<05650>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were put to the worse
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they made peace
<07999> (8686)

with David
<01732>_,

and became his servants
<05647> (8799)_:

neither would
<014> (8804)

the Syrians
<0758>

help
<03467> (8687)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

any more.

20:1

And it came to pass, that after
<06256>

the year
<08141>

was expired
<08666>_,

at the time
<06256>

that kings
<04428>

go out
<03318> (8800)

[to battle], Joab
<03097>

led forth
<05090> (8799)

the power
<02428>

of the army
<06635>_,

and wasted
<07843> (8686)

the country
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Rabbah
<07237>_.

But David
<01732>

tarried
<03427> (8802)

at Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And Joab
<03097>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Rabbah
<07237>_,

and destroyed
<02040> (8799)

it. {after...: Heb. at the return of the year}

20:2

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the crown
<05850>

of their king
<04428>

from off his head
<07218>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

it to weigh
<04948>

a talent
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and [there were] precious
<03368>

stones
<068>

in it; and it was set upon David's
<01732>

head
<07218>_:

and he brought
<03318> (8689)

also exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

spoil
<07998>

out of the city
<05892>_.

{to weigh: Heb. the weight of}

20:3

And he brought out
<03318> (8689)

the people
<05971>

that [were] in it, and cut
<07787> (8799)

[them] with saws
<04050>_,

and with harrows
<02757>

of iron
<01270>_,

and with axes
<04050>_.

Even so dealt
<06213> (8799)

David
<01732>

with all the cities
<05892>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

And David
<01732>

and all the people
<05971>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

20:4

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that there arose
<05975> (8799)

war
<04421>

at Gezer
<01507>

with the Philistines
<06430>_;

at which time
<0227>

Sibbechai
<05444>

the Hushathite
<02843>

slew
<05221> (8689)

Sippai
<05598>_,

[that was] of the children
<03211>

of the giant
<07497>_:

and they were subdued
<03665> (8735)_.

{arose: or, continued: Heb. stood} {Gezer: also called, Gob} {Sippai: also called, Saph} {the giant: or, Rapha}

20:5

And there was war
<04421>

again with the Philistines
<06430>_;

and Elhanan
<0445>

the son
<01121>

of Jair
<03265>

slew
<05221> (8686)

Lahmi
<03902>

the brother
<0251>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Gittite
<01663>_,

whose spear
<02595>

staff
<06086>

[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_.

{Jair: also called, Jaareoregim}

20:6

And yet again there was war
<04421>

at Gath
<01661>_,

where was a man
<0376>

of [great] stature
<04060>_,

whose fingers
<0676>

and toes
<0676>

[were] four
<0702>

and twenty
<06242>_,

six
<08337>

[on each hand], and six
<08337>

[on each foot]: and he also was the son
<03205> (8738)

of the giant
<07497>_.

{great...: Heb. measure} {the son...: Heb. born to the giant, or, Rapha}

20:7

But when he defied
<02778> (8762)

Israel
<03478>_,

Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Shimea
<08092>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>

slew
<05221> (8686)

him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: also called Shammah}

20:8

These
<0411>

were born
<03205> (8738)

unto the giant
<07497>

in Gath
<01661>_;

and they fell
<05307> (8799)

by the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_,

and by the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_.
