19:1The defeat of the Ammonites and Arameans

Full kingdom

(2 Sam. 10:1-19)

19Some time later, the Ammonite King Nahash died and his son Hanun became their king 2and David said, “I’ll show loyal commitment to Nahash’s son Hanun, because his father was good to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father’s death. However, when David’s servants entered Ammonite territory to comfort Hanun, 3the Ammonite leaders asked their new king, “Do you think that David’s really sending comforters to honour your father? Wouldn’t it be more likely that he sent his servants to explore and spy out the land in order to overthrow you?” 4So King Hanun took David’s servants, and had their beards shaved off, plus he cut off the bottom half of their robes to expose their buttocks, and then he sent them home. 5Some people quickly informed David what had happened, so he sent messengers to meet the men (because they were very much humiliated) and to tell them, “Stay there in Yeriho (Jericho) until your beards grow out, then return here.”

6By then, the Ammonites realised that they had greatly insulted King David, so King Hanun and the Ammonites sent thirty tonnes of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram-Naharayim, Aram-Maakah, and Tsovah. 7They hired 32,000 chariots, as well as the king of Maakah and his army. They all came and set up their camps near Meydeva, plus they were joined by the Ammonites themselves coming out of their cities ready for battle.

8When David heard about that, he sent Yoav with the entire army. 9Then the Ammonites marched out and deployed ready for battle at the entrance to their city, while kings who had come were over in the countryside with their men.

10Yoav quickly realised that he’d have to fight on two fronts, so he chose Yisrael’s best warriors and set them out to face the Arameans (Syrians), 11while he placed the remaining men (under the control of his older brother Avshai) out against the Ammonites. 12Yoav told them, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you can come to rescue me. But if the Ammonites start to gain on you, then I’ll come to rescue you. 13We must be strong and fight hard to defend our people and our cities that belong to our God. Yahweh will do what he considers to be good.”

14So Yoav advanced his troops to attack the Arameans, but the Arameans fled away from them. 15When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Avshai and withdrew into the city, so Yoav went back to Yerushalem.

16When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Yisrael, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from across the Euphrates river, led by Shofak, the commander of Hadadezer’s army. 17 18 19
