(2 Samuel 10:2) And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash,
as his father showed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him for his
father, by the hand of his servants. And David's servants came to the land of
the sons of Ammon.
(2 Samuel 10:3) And the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord,
Do you think that David honors your father, that he has sent comforters to you?
Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out,
and to overthrow it?
(2 Samuel 10:4) And Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half their
beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, to their buttocks, and sent
them away.
(2 Samuel 10:5) And they told David, and he sent to meet them, because the men
were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Stay at Jericho until your beards are
grown, and return.
(2 Samuel 10:6) And the sons of Ammon saw that they had begun to stink before
David. And the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the

and from Ishtob twelve thousand men.
(2 Samuel 10:7) And David heard. And he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty
men.
(2 Samuel 10:8) And the sons of Ammon came out and put the battle in order at
the entering in of the gate. And the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and Ishtob,
and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

shall help me. But if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come
and help you.

for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do that which seems good to Him.

against the Syrians. And they fled before him.

the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck
Shobach the captain of their army, who died there.
