And after
<0310>

this it came to pass, that David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and subdued
<03665> (8686)

them: and David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

Methegammah
<04965>

<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

{Methegammah: or, the bridle of Ammah}

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

Moab
<04124>_,

and measured
<04058> (8762)

them with a line
<02256>_,

casting them down
<07901> (8687)

<03967>

<06571>_,

and twenty
<06242>

<0505>

footmen
<0376> <07273>_:

and David
<01732>

houghed
<06131> (8762)

<07393>

to succour
<05826> (8800)

Hadadezer
<01909>

became servants
<05650>

to David
<01732>_,

[and] brought
<05375> (8802)

gifts
<04503>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

preserved
<03467> (8686)

David
<01732>

whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.

<01121>

were chief rulers
<03548>_.

{chief rulers: or, princes}

9:1

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Is there yet
<03426>

any that is left
<03498> (8738)

of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

that I may shew
<06213> (8799)

him kindness
<02617>

for Jonathan's
<03083>

sake?

9:2

And [there was] of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>

a servant
<05650>

whose name
<08034>

[was] Ziba
<06717>_.

And when they had called
<07121> (8799)

him unto David
<01732>_,

the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou Ziba
<06717>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy servant
<05650>

[is he].

9:3

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] there not
<0657>

yet any
<0376>

of the house
<01004>

of Saul
<07586>_,

that I may shew
<06213> (8799)

the kindness
<02617>

of God
<0430>

unto him? And Ziba
<06717>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Jonathan
<03083>

hath yet a son
<01121>_,

[which is] lame
<05223>

on [his] feet
<07272>_.

9:4

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Where
<0375>

[is] he? And Ziba
<06717>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Behold, he [is] in the house
<01004>

of Machir
<04353>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammiel
<05988>_,

in Lodebar
<03810>_.

9:5

Then king
<04428>

David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

him out of the house
<01004>

of Machir
<04353>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ammiel
<05988>_,

from Lodebar
<03810>_.

9:6

Now when Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jonathan
<03083>_,

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_,

was come
<0935> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

he fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_,

and did reverence
<07812> (8691)_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Mephibosheth
<04648>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold thy servant
<05650>_!

{Mephibosheth: also called Meribbaal}

9:7

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for I will surely
<06213> (8800)

shew
<06213> (8799)

thee kindness
<02617>

for Jonathan
<03083>

thy father's
<01>

sake, and will restore
<07725> (8689)

thee all the land
<07704>

of Saul
<07586>

thy father
<01>_;

and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

at my table
<07979>

continually
<08548>_.

9:8

And he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] thy servant
<05650>_,

that thou shouldest look
<06437> (8804)

upon such a dead
<04191> (8801)

dog
<03611>

as I [am]?

9:9

Then the king
<04428>

called
<07121> (8799)

to Ziba
<06717>_,

Saul's
<07586>

servant
<05288>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I have given
<05414> (8804)

unto thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

all that pertained
<01961> (8804)

to Saul
<07586>

and to all his house
<01004>_.

9:10

Thou therefore, and thy sons
<01121>_,

and thy servants
<05650>_,

shall till
<05647> (8804)

the land
<0127>

for him, and thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)

in [the fruits], that thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

may have food
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8804)_:

but Mephibosheth
<04648>

thy master's
<0113>

son
<01121>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

bread
<03899>

alway
<08548>

at my table
<07979>_.

Now Ziba
<06717>

had fifteen
<02568> <06240>

sons
<01121>

and twenty
<06242>

servants
<05650>_.

9:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Ziba
<06717>

unto the king
<04428>_,

According to all that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

hath commanded
<06680> (8762)

his servant
<05650>_,

so shall thy servant
<05650>

do
<06213> (8799)_.

As for Mephibosheth
<04648>_,

[said the king], he shall eat
<0398> (8802)

at my table
<07979>_,

as one
<0259>

of the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_.

9:12

And Mephibosheth
<04648>

had a young
<06996>

son
<01121>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Micha
<04316>_.

And all that dwelt
<04186>

in the house
<01004>

of Ziba
<06717>

[were] servants
<05650>

unto Mephibosheth
<04648>_.

9:13

So Mephibosheth
<04648>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for he did eat
<0398> (8802)

continually
<08548>

at the king's
<04428>

table
<07979>_;

and was lame
<06455>

on both
<08147>

his feet
<07272>_.

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.

10:14

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that the Syrians
<0758>

were fled
<05127> (8804)_,

then fled
<05127> (8799)

they also before
<06440>

Abishai
<052>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

So Joab
<03097>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

10:15

And when the Syrians
<0758>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were smitten
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they gathered
<0622> (8735)

themselves together
<03162>_.

10:16

And Hadarezer
<01928>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and brought out
<03318> (8686)

the Syrians
<0758>

that [were] beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

to Helam
<02431>_;

and Shobach
<07731>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

[went] before
<06440>

them. {the river: that is, Euphrates} {Shobach: or, Shophach}

10:17

And when it was told
<05046> (8714)

David
<01732>_,

he gathered
<0622> (0)

all Israel
<03478>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Helam
<02431>_.

And the Syrians
<0758>

set themselves in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with him.

10:18

And the Syrians
<0758>

fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and David
<01732>

slew
<02026> (8799)

[the men of] seven
<07651>

hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>

of the Syrians
<0758>_,

and forty
<0705>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and smote
<05221> (8689)

Shobach
<07731>

the captain
<08269>

of their host
<06635>_,

who died
<04191> (8799)

there. {horsemen: also called, footmen}

10:19

And when all the kings
<04428>

[that were] servants
<05650>

to Hadarezer
<01928>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were smitten
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they made peace
<07999> (8686)

with Israel
<03478>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

them. So the Syrians
<0758>

feared
<03372> (8799)

to help
<03467> (8687)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

any more.
