Chapter 19
Now
it
came
to
passe
after
this,
that
Nahash
the
King
of
the
children
of
Ammon
dyed,
&
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
2
And
Dauid
sayde,
I
will
shewe
kindnesse
vnto
Hanun
the
sonne
of
Nahash,
because
his
father
shewed
kindnesse
to
mee.
And
Dauid
sent
messengers
to
comfort
him
concerning
his
father.
So
the
seruants
of
Dauid
came
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
to
Hanun,
to
comfort
him.
3
But
the
Princes
of
the
children
of
Ammon
sayde
to
Hanun,
Thinkest
thou
that
Dauid
doeth
honour
thy
father,
that
he
hath
sent
comforters
vnto
thee?
Are
not
his
seruants
come
vnto
thee
for
to
search,
and
to
ouerthrow,
and
to
spie
out
the
land?
4
Wherefore
Hanun
tooke
Dauids
seruants,
and
shaued
them,
and
cut
off
their
garments
in
the
middest,
hard
by
their
buttockes,
and
sent
them
away.
5
Then
there
went
certeine,
and
told
Dauid,
how
the
men
were
serued,
and
hee
sent
to
meet
them
(for
the
men
were
greatly
ashamed)
and
the
King
sayde,
Tary
at
Iericho
vntill
your
beards
be
growen,
and
then
returne.
6
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
sawe,
that
they
had
made
themselues
odious
to
Dauid;
Hanun
and
the
children
of
Ammon
sent
a
thousand
talents
of
siluer,
to
hire
them
charets
and
horsemen
out
of
Mesopotamia,
and
out
of
Syria-Maachah,
and
out
of
Zobah.
7
So
they
hired
thirtie
and
two
thousand
charets,
and
the
king
of
Maachah
and
his
people,
who
came
and
pitched
before
Medeba.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
gathered
themselues
together
from
their
cities,
and
came
to
battaile.
8
And
when
Dauid
heard
of
it,
hee
sent
Ioab,
and
all
the
host
of
the
mightie
men.
9
And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out,
and
put
the
battell
in
aray
before
the
gate
of
the
citie,
and
the
kings
that
were
come,
were
by
themselues
in
the
field.
10
Now
when
Ioab
saw
that
the
battell
was
set
against
him,
before
and
behinde:
hee
chose
out
of
all
the
choice
of
Israel,
and
put
them
in
aray
against
the
Syrians.
11
And
the
rest
of
the
people
hee
deliuered
vnto
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother,
and
they
set
themselues
in
aray
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
12
And
he
said,
If
the
Syrians
bee
too
strong
for
me,
then
thou
shalt
helpe
me:
but
if
the
children
of
Ammon
be
too
strong
for
thee,
then
I
wil
helpe
thee.
13
Be
of
good
courage,
and
let
vs
behaue
our
selues
valiantly
for
our
people,
and
for
the
Cities
of
our
God:
and
let
the
Lord
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
sight.
14
So
Ioab
and
the
people
that
were
with
him,
drew
nigh
before
the
Syrians,
vnto
the
battell;
and
they
fled
before
him.
15
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
the
Syrians
were
fled,
they
likewise
fled
before
Abishai
his
brother,
and
entred
into
the
city.
Then
Ioab
came
to
Ierusalem.
16
And
when
the
Syrians
saw
that
they
were
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
they
sent
messengers,
and
drew
forth
the
Syrians,
that
were
beyond
the
Riuer:
and
Shophach
the
captaine
of
the
hoste
of
Hadarezer,
went
before
them.
17
And
it
was
tolde
Dauid,
and
hee
gathered
all
Israel,
and
passed
ouer
Iordane,
and
came
vpon
them,
and
set
the
battell
in
aray
against
them:
so
when
Dauid
had
put
the
battell
in
aray
against
the
Syrians,
they
fought
with
him.
18
But
the
Syrians
fled
before
Israel,
and
Dauid
slew
of
the
Syrians
seuen
thousand
men,
which
fought
in
charets,
and
fourty
thousand
footmen,
and
killed
Shophach
the
captaine
of
the
hoste.
19
And
when
the
seruants
of
Hadarezer
saw
that
they
were
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
they
made
peace
with
Dauid,
and
became
his
seruants:
neither
would
the
Syrians
helpe
the
children
of
Ammon
any
more.
