1 Chronicles 19:1-14

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.
