2 Samuel 10:1-13

10:1

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

that the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and Hanun
<02586>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

10:2

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

I will shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

unto Hanun
<02586>

the son
<01121>

of Nahash
<05176>_,

as his father
<01>

shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

unto me. And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him by the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>

for his father
<01>_.

And David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

10:3

And the princes
<08269>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Hanun
<02586>

their lord
<0113>_,

Thinkest
<05869>

thou that David
<01732>

doth honour
<03513> (8764)

thy father
<01>_,

that he hath sent
<07971> (8804)

comforters
<05162> (8764)

unto thee? hath not David
<01732>

[rather] sent
<07971> (8804)

his servants
<05650>

unto thee, to
<05668>

search
<02713> (8800)

the city
<05892>_,

and to spy it out
<07270> (8763)_,

and to overthrow
<02015> (8800)

it? {Thinkest...: Heb. In thy eyes doth David}

10:4

Wherefore Hanun
<02586>

took
<03947> (8799)

David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

and shaved off
<01548> (8762)

the one half
<02677>

of their beards
<02206>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8799)

their garments
<04063>

in the middle
<02677>_,

[even] to their buttocks
<08357>_,

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

10:5

When they told
<05046> (8686)

[it] unto David
<01732>_,

he sent
<07971> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them, because 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)_.

10:6

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they stank
<0887> (8738)

before David
<01732>_,

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and hired
<07936> (8799)

the Syrians
<0758>

of Bethrehob
<01050>_,

and the Syrians
<0758>

of Zoba
<06678>_,

twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<07273>_,

and of king
<04428>

Maacah
<04601>

a thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

and of Ishtob
<0382>

twelve
<06240> <08147>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{Ishtob: or, the men of Tob}

10:7

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>_.

10:8

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

came out
<03318> (8799)_,

and put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

at the entering in
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>_:

and the Syrians
<0758>

of Zoba
<06678>_,

and of Rehob
<07340>_,

and Ishtob
<0382>_,

and Maacah
<04601>_,

[were] by themselves
<0905>

in the field
<07704>_.

10:9

When Joab
<03097>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the front
<06440>

of the battle
<04421>

was against him before
<06440>

and behind
<0268>_,

he chose
<0977> (8799)

of all the choice
<0977> (8803)

[men] of Israel
<03478>_,

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

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_:

10:10

And the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

he delivered
<05414> (8804)

into the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

that he might put [them] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

10:11

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the Syrians
<0758>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for me, then thou shalt help
<03444>

me: but if the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for thee, then I will come
<01980> (8804)

and help
<03467> (8687)

thee.

10:12

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

and let us play the men
<02388> (8691)

for our people
<05971>_,

and for the cities
<05892>

of our God
<0430>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

that which seemeth
<05869>

him good
<02896>_.

10:13

And Joab
<03097>

drew nigh
<05066> (8799)_,

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, unto the battle
<04421>

against the Syrians
<0758>_:

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.
