Chapter 10
And
it
came
to
passe,
after
this,
that
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
died,
and
Hanun
his
sonne
reigned
in
his
stead.
2
Then
said
Dauid,
I
will
shewe
kindnes
vnto
Hanun
the
sonne
of
Nahash,
as
his
father
shewed
kindnes
vnto
me.
And
Dauid
sent
to
comfort
him
by
the
hand
of
his
seruants,
for
his
father:
and
Dauids
seruants
came
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
3
And
the
princes
of
the
children
of
Ammon
saide
vnto
Hanun
their
lord,
Thinkest
thou
that
Dauid
doeth
honour
thy
father,
that
he
hath
sent
comforters
vnto
thee?
Hath
not
Dauid
rather
sent
his
seruants
vnto
thee,
to
search
the
citie,
and
to
spie
it
out,
and
to
ouerthrow
it?
4
Wherefore
Hanun
tooke
Dauids
seruants,
and
shaued
off
the
one
halfe
of
their
beards,
and
cut
off
their
garments
in
the
middle,
euen
to
their
buttocks,
and
sent
them
away.
5
When
they
told
it
vnto
Dauid,
he
sent
to
meet
them,
because
the
men
were
greatly
ashamed:
and
the
King
saide,
Tarie
at
Iericho
vntill
your
beards
be
growen,
and
then
returne.
6
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
they
stanke
before
Dauid,
the
children
of
Ammon
sent,
and
hired
the
Syrians
of
Beth-Rehob,
and
the
Syrians
of
Zoba,
twentie
thousand
footmen,
and
of
king
Maacah,
a
thousand
men,
and
of
Ishtob
twelue
thousand
men.
7
And
when
Dauid
heard
of
it,
he
sent
Ioab,
and
all
the
hoste
of
the
mightie
men.
8
And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out,
and
put
the
battell
in
aray
at
the
entring
in
of
the
gate:
and
the
Syrians
of
Zoba
and
of
Rehob,
and
Ishtob,
and
Maacah,
were
by
themselues
in
the
field.
9
When
Ioab
saw
that
the
front
of
the
battell
was
against
him,
before
and
behind,
he
chose
of
all
the
choise
men
of
Israel,
and
put
them
in
aray
against
the
Syrians.
10
And
the
rest
of
the
people
he
deliuered
into
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother,
that
he
might
put
them
in
aray
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
11
And
he
said,
If
the
Syrians
bee
too
strong
for
me,
then
thou
shalt
helpe
me:
but
if
the
children
of
Ammon
bee
too
strong
for
thee,
then
I
will
come
and
helpe
thee.
12
Be
of
good
courage,
and
let
vs
play
the
men,
for
our
people,
and
for
the
cities
of
our
God:
and
the
Lord
doe
that
which
seemeth
him
good.
13
And
Ioab
drew
nigh,
and
the
people
that
were
with
him,
vnto
the
battell
against
the
Syrians:
and
they
fled
before
him.
14
And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
the
Syrians
were
fledde,
then
fled
they
also
before
Abishai,
and
entred
into
the
citie:
so
Ioab
returned
from
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
came
to
Ierusalem.
15
And
when
the
Syrians
sawe
that
they
were
smitten
before
Israel,
they
gathered
themselues
together.
16
And
Hadarezer
sent,
and
brought
out
the
Syrians
that
were
beyond
the
riuer,
and
they
came
to
Helam,
and
Shobach
the
captaine
of
the
hoste
of
Hadarezer
went
before
them.
17
And
when
it
was
told
Dauid,
he
gathered
all
Israel
together,
and
passed
ouer
Iordane,
and
came
to
Helam:
and
the
Syrians
set
themselues
in
aray
against
Dauid,
and
fought
with
him.
18
And
the
Syrians
fled
before
Israel,
and
Dauid
slew
the
men
of
seuen
hundred
charets
of
the
Syrians,
and
fourtie
thousand
horsemen,
and
smote
Shobach
the
captaine
of
their
hoste,
who
died
there.
19
And
when
all
the
kings
that
were
seruants
to
Hadarezer
sawe,
that
they
were
smitten
before
Israel,
they
made
peace
with
Israel,
and
serued
them:
so
the
Syrians
feared
to
helpe
the
children
of
Ammon
any
more.
