10 And it happened after thus, and the king of the sons of Ammon died. And Hanun his son was king in his place. 2 And David said, “I will do kindness with Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father did kindness with me.” And David sent in order to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father.
And the servants of David came to the land of the sons of Ammon. 3 And the captains of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he sent comforters to you? Is it not for the sake of exploring the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it that David has sent his servants to you?” 4 And Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved half of their beards, and he cut their robes in half up to their buttocks. And he sent them away.
5 And they informed David, and he sent to call them, because the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, “Live in Jericho until your beard grows, and you will return.”
6 And the sons of Ammon saw that they were made to stink to David. And the sons of Ammon sent, and they hired Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba with 20,000 footmen, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob with 12,000 men.
7 And David heard, and he sent Joab and the entire army, the mighty people. 8 And the sons of Ammon went out and they arranged for war at the opening of the gate. And Aram of Zoba and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were alone in the field.
9 And Joab saw that the face of the war was against him, from before the faces and from behind, and he chose from the entire chosen ones of Israel, and he arranged them to meet Aram. 10 And the remainder of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother. And he arranged them to meet the sons of Ammon. 11 And he said, “If Aram is too strong for me, then you will become deliverance for me, but if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will go to provide deliverance for you. 12 Be strong, and let us be strong for the benefit of our people and for the benefit of the cities of our God. And Yahweh will do what is good in his eyes.”
13 And Joab and the people who were with him approached the war against Aram, and they fled from before his face. 14 And the sons of Ammon saw that Aram fled, and they fled from before the face of Abishai, and they entered the city. And Joab returned away from the sons of Ammon, and he entered Jerusalem.
15 And Aram saw that he was struck to the face of Israel, and they assembled together. 16 And Hadadezer sent, and he brought out Aram, who was from beyond the River, and they came to Helam. And Shobak the captain of the army of Hadadezer was to their faces.
17 And it was declared to David, and he assembled all Israel, and he crossed the Jordan, and he came to Helam. And Aram arranged to meet David, and they fought with him. 18 And Aram fled from the face of Israel, and David killed from Aram 700 chariots and 40,000 horsemen, and he struck Shobak the captain of his army, and he died there. 19 And all the kings, the servants of Hadadezer, saw that they were struck to the face of Israel, and they made peace with Israel, and they served them.
And Aram was afraid to deliver the sons of Ammon anymore.
