The Ammonites and Syrians Defeated(A)
10 It happened after this that the (B)king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place. 2 Then David said, “I will show (C)kindness to Hanun the son of (D)Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.”
So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the people of Ammon. 3 And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, (E)at their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly [a]ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they (F)had made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired (G)the Syrians of (H)Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of (I)Maacah one thousand men, and from (J)Ish-Tob twelve thousand men. 7 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of (K)the mighty men. 8 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And (L)the Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9 When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s best and put them in battle array against the Syrians. 10 And the rest of the people he put under the command of (M)Abishai his brother, that he might set them in battle array against the people of Ammon. 11 Then he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 12 (N)Be of good courage, and let us (O)be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may (P)the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. 14 When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went to (Q)Jerusalem.
15 When the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered together. 16 Then [b]Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond [c]the River, and they came to Helam. And [d]Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them. 17 When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him. 18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand (R)horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants to [e]Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and (S)served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.

Davi derrota os amonitas
10 Algum tempo depois, morreu Naás, rei dos amonitas, e seu filho Hanum subiu ao trono. 2 Davi disse: “Vou demonstrar lealdade a Hanum, assim como seu pai, Naás, sempre foi leal a mim”. Então Davi enviou representantes para expressar seu pesar a Hanum pela morte do pai dele.
Mas, quando os representantes de Davi chegaram à terra de Amom, 3 os líderes amonitas disseram a Hanum, seu senhor: “O rei acredita mesmo que esses homens estão aqui para honrar seu pai? Não! Davi os enviou com o objetivo de espionar a cidade para vir e conquistá-la!”. 4 Então Hanum prendeu os representantes de Davi e raspou metade da barba de cada um, cortou metade de suas roupas até as nádegas e os expulsou de sua terra.
5 Quando Davi soube o que havia acontecido, enviou mensageiros ao encontro dos homens, para que lhes dissessem: “Fiquem em Jericó até que sua barba tenha crescido e voltem em seguida”, pois estavam muito envergonhados.
6 Quando os amonitas perceberam quanto haviam enfurecido Davi, contrataram vinte mil soldados de infantaria dos sírios das terras de Bete-Reobe e Zobá, mil homens do rei de Maaca e doze mil da terra de Tobe. 7 Davi foi informado disso e enviou Joabe e todos os seus guerreiros para lutarem contra eles. 8 As tropas amonitas avançaram e formaram sua frente de batalha à entrada da cidade, enquanto os sírios de Zobá e Reobe e os homens de Tobe e Maaca se posicionaram para lutar nos campos abertos.
9 Joabe viu que teria de lutar em duas frentes ao mesmo tempo, por isso escolheu alguns dos melhores guerreiros de Israel e os pôs sob seu comando pessoal para enfrentar os sírios. 10 Deixou o restante do exército sob o comando de seu irmão Abisai, que atacou os amonitas. 11 Joabe disse a seu irmão: “Se os sírios forem fortes demais para mim, venha me ajudar. E, se os amonitas forem fortes demais para você, eu irei ajudá-lo. 12 Coragem! Lutemos bravamente por nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus. E que seja feita a vontade do Senhor!”.
13 Joabe e suas tropas atacaram, e os sírios começaram a fugir. 14 Quando os amonitas viram que os sírios batiam em retirada, também fugiram de Abisai e recuaram para dentro da cidade. Terminada a batalha, Joabe voltou para Jerusalém.
15 Os sírios viram que não tinham como enfrentar Israel. Assim, ao se reagrupar, 16 receberam o reforço de soldados sírios convocados por Hadadezer do outro lado do rio Eufrates.[a] Essas tropas chegaram a Helã conduzidas por Sobaque, comandante das forças de Hadadezer.
17 Quando Davi foi informado do que estava acontecendo, reuniu todo o Israel, atravessou o Jordão e levou o exército até Helã. Os sírios se posicionaram para a batalha e lutaram contra Davi. 18 Mais uma vez, porém, os sírios fugiram dos israelitas. O exército de Davi matou setecentos homens em carros de guerra e quarenta mil soldados de infantaria,[b] incluindo Sobaque, comandante de seu exército. 19 Quando todos os reis aliados a Hadadezer viram que ele havia sido derrotado pelos israelitas, renderam-se a Israel e se tornaram súditos de Davi. Depois disso, os sírios tiveram medo de voltar a ajudar os amonitas.

David Defeats the Ammonites(A)
10 In the course of time, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king. 2 David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash,(B) just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father.
When David’s men came to the land of the Ammonites, 3 the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Hasn’t David sent them to you only to explore the city and spy it out(C) and overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved off half of each man’s beard,(D) cut off their garments at the buttocks,(E) and sent them away.
5 When David was told about this, he sent messengers to meet the men, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.”
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious(F) to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean(G) foot soldiers from Beth Rehob(H) and Zobah,(I) as well as the king of Maakah(J) with a thousand men, and also twelve thousand men from Tob.(K)
7 On hearing this, David sent Joab(L) out with the entire army of fighting men. 8 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance of their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maakah were by themselves in the open country.
9 Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans. 10 He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai(M) his brother and deployed them against the Ammonites. 11 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you. 12 Be strong,(N) and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”(O)
13 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 14 When the Ammonites(P) realized that the Arameans were fleeing, they fled before Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab returned from fighting the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
15 After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they regrouped. 16 Hadadezer had Arameans brought from beyond the Euphrates River; they went to Helam, with Shobak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him. 18 But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers.[a] He also struck down Shobak the commander of their army, and he died there. 19 When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became subject(Q) to them.
So the Arameans(R) were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
