19:1 And
it
cometh
to
pass
after
this,
that
Nahash
king
of
the
sons
of
Ammon
dieth,
and
his
son
reigneth
in
his
stead,
19:2 and
David
saith,
`I
do
kindness
with
Hanun
son
of
Nahash,
for
his
father
did
with
me
kindness;'
and
David
sendeth
messengers
to
comfort
him
concerning
his
father.
And
the
servants
of
David
come
in
unto
the
land
of
the
sons
of
Ammon,
unto
Hanun,
to
comfort
him,
19:3 and
the
heads
of
the
sons
of
Ammon
say
to
Hanun,
`Is
David
honouring
thy
father,
in
thine
eyes,
because
he
hath
sent
to
thee
comforters
in
order
to
search,
and
to
overthrow,
and
to
spy
out,
the
land,
have
not
his
servants
come
in
unto
thee'
19:4 And
Hanun
taketh
the
servants
of
David,
and
shaveth
them,
and
cutteth
their
long
robes
in
the
midst,
unto
the
buttocks,
and
sendeth
them
away.
19:5 And
[some]
go,
and
declare
to
David
concerning
the
men,
and
he
sendeth
to
meet
them--for
the
men
have
been
greatly
ashamed--and
the
king
saith,
`Dwell
in
Jericho
till
that
your
beard
is
grown,
then
ye
have
returned.'
19:6 And
the
sons
of
Ammon
see
that
they
have
made
themselves
abhorred
by
David,
and
Hanun
and
the
sons
of
Ammon
send
a
thousand
talents
of
silver,
to
hire
to
them,
from
Aram-Naharaim,
and
from
Aram-Maachah,
and
from
Zobah,
chariots
and
horsemen;
19:7 and
they
hire
to
them
two
and
thirty
thousand
chariots,
and
the
king
of
Maachah
and
his
people,
and
they
come
in
and
encamp
before
Medeba,
and
the
sons
of
Ammon
have
been
gathered
out
of
their
cities,
and
come
in
to
the
battle.
19:8 And
David
heareth,
and
sendeth
Joab,
and
all
the
host
of
the
mighty
men,
19:9 and
the
sons
of
Ammon
come
out
and
set
battle
in
array
at
the
opening
of
the
city,
and
the
kings
who
have
come
[are]
by
themselves
in
the
field.
19:10 And
Joab
seeth
that
the
front
of
the
battle
hath
been
unto
him,
before
and
behind,
and
he
chooseth
out
of
all
the
choice
in
Israel,
and
setteth
in
array
to
meet
Aram,
19:11 and
the
remnant
of
the
people
he
hath
given
into
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother,
and
they
set
in
array
to
meet
the
sons
of
Ammon.
19:12 And
he
saith,
`If
Aram
be
stronger
than
I,
then
thou
hast
been
to
me
for
salvation;
and
if
the
sons
of
Ammon
be
stronger
than
thou,
then
I
have
saved
thee;
19:13 be
strong,
and
we
strengthen
ourselves,
for
our
people,
and
for
the
cities
of
our
God,
and
Jehovah
doth
that
which
is
good
in
His
eyes.'
19:14 And
Joab
draweth
nigh,
and
the
people
who
[are]
with
him,
before
Aram
to
battle,
and
they
flee
from
his
face;
19:15 and
the
sons
of
Ammon
have
seen
that
Aram
hath
fled,
and
they
flee--they
also--from
the
face
of
Abishai
his
brother,
and
go
in
to
the
city.
And
Joab
cometh
in
to
Jerusalem.
19:16 And
Aram
seeth
that
they
have
been
smitten
before
Israel,
and
send
messengers,
and
bring
out
Aram
that
[is]
beyond
the
River,
and
Shophach
head
of
the
host
of
Hadarezer
[is]
before
them.
19:17 And
it
is
declared
to
David,
and
he
gathereth
all
Israel,
and
passeth
over
the
Jordan,
and
cometh
in
unto
them,
and
setteth
in
array
against
them;
yea,
David
setteth
in
array
the
battle
to
meet
Aram,
and
they
fight
with
him;
19:18 and
Aram
fleeth
from
the
face
of
Israel,
and
David
slayeth
of
Aram
seven
thousand
charioteers,
and
forty
thousand
footmen,
and
Shophach
head
of
the
host
he
hath
put
to
death.
19:19 And
the
servants
of
Hadarezer
see
that
they
have
been
smitten
before
Israel,
and
they
make
peace
with
David
and
serve
him,
and
Aram
hath
not
been
willing
to
help
the
sons
of
Ammon
any
more.
