And it came to pass after thisH310, that the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 diedH4191, and HanunH2586 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, I will shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176, as his fatherH1 shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 unto me. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to comfortH5162 him by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650 for his fatherH1. And David'sH1732 servantsH5650 cameH935 into the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 unto HanunH2586 their lordH113, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513 thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971 comfortersH5162 unto thee? hath not DavidH1732 rather sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto thee, toH5668 searchH2713 the cityH5892, and to spy it outH7270, and to overthrowH2015 it? {Thinkest…: Heb. In thine eyes doth David?}
Wherefore HanunH2586 tookH3947 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and shaved offH1548 the one halfH2677 of their beardsH2206, and cut offH3772 their garmentsH4063 in the middleH2677, even to their buttocksH8357, and sent them awayH7971.
When they toldH5046 it unto DavidH1732, he sentH7971 to meetH7125 them, because the menH582 were greatlyH3966 ashamedH3637: and the kingH4428 saidH559, TarryH3427 at JerichoH3405 until your beardsH2206 be grownH6779, and then returnH7725.
And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that they stankH887 before DavidH1732, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sentH7971 and hiredH7936 the SyriansH758 of BethrehobH1050, and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, twentyH6242 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and of kingH4428 MaacahH4601 a thousandH505 menH376, and of IshtobH382 twelveH6240+H8147 thousandH505 menH376. {Ishtob: or, the men of Tob}
And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635 of the mighty menH1368.
And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 came outH3318, and put the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179: and the SyriansH758 of ZobaH6678, and of RehobH7340, and IshtobH382, and MaacahH4601, were by themselvesH905 in the fieldH7704.
When JoabH3097 sawH7200 that the frontH6440 of the battleH4421 was against him beforeH6440 and behindH268, he choseH977 of all the choiceH977 men of IsraelH3478, and put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the SyriansH758:
And the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, that he might put them in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And he saidH559, If the SyriansH758 be too strongH2388 for me, then thou shalt helpH3444 me: but if the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 be too strongH2388 for thee, then I will comeH1980 and helpH3467 thee.
Be of good courageH2388, and let us play the menH2388 for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and the LORDH3068 doH6213 that which seemethH5869 him goodH2896.
And JoabH3097 drew nighH5066, and the peopleH5971 that were with him, unto the battleH4421 against the SyriansH758: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 him.
And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the SyriansH758 were fledH5127, then fledH5127 they also beforeH6440 AbishaiH52, and enteredH935 into the cityH5892. So JoabH3097 returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
And when the SyriansH758 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they gatheredH622 themselves togetherH3162.
And HadarezerH1928 sentH7971, and brought outH3318 the SyriansH758 that were beyondH5676 the riverH5104: and they cameH935 to HelamH2431; and ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of HadarezerH1928 went beforeH6440 them. {the river: that is, Euphrates} {Shobach: or, Shophach}
And when it was toldH5046 DavidH1732, he gatheredH622 all IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and passed overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 to HelamH2431. And the SyriansH758 set themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 DavidH1732, and foughtH3898 with him.
And the SyriansH758 fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 slewH2026 the men of sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of the SyriansH758, and fortyH705 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and smoteH5221 ShobachH7731 the captainH8269 of their hostH6635, who diedH4191 there.
And when all the kingsH4428 that were servantsH5650 to HadarezerH1928 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, they made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and servedH5647 them. So the SyriansH758 fearedH3372 to helpH3467 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 any more.

And, behold, there cameH5066 aH259 prophetH5030 unto AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou seenH7200 all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995? behold, I will deliverH5414 it into thine handH3027 this dayH3117; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {came: Heb. approached}
And AhabH256 saidH559, By whom? And he saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Even by the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082. Then he saidH559, Who shall orderH631 the battleH4421? And he answeredH559, Thou. {young…: or, servants} {order: Heb. bind, or, tie}
Then he numberedH6485 the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082, and they were twoH8147 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970 twoH8147: and afterH310 them he numberedH6485 all the peopleH5971, even all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, being sevenH7651 thousandH505.
And they went outH3318 at noonH6672. But BenhadadH1130 was drinkingH8354 himself drunkH7910 in the pavilionsH5521, he and the kingsH4428, the thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 kingsH4428 that helpedH5826 him.
And the young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 went outH3318 firstH7223; and BenhadadH1130 sent outH7971, and they toldH5046 him, sayingH559, There are menH582 come outH3318 of SamariaH8111.
And he saidH559, Whether they be come outH3318 for peaceH7965, takeH8610 them aliveH2416; or whether they be come outH3318 for warH4421, takeH8610 them aliveH2416.
So these young menH5288 of the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 came outH3318 of the cityH5892, and the armyH2428 which followedH310 them.
And they slewH5221 every oneH376 his manH376: and the SyriansH758 fledH5127; and IsraelH3478 pursuedH7291 them: and BenhadadH1130 the kingH4428 of SyriaH758 escapedH4422 on an horseH5483 with the horsemenH6571.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and smoteH5221 the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and slewH5221 the SyriansH758 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.
And there cameH5066 a manH376 of GodH430, and spakeH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Because the SyriansH758 have saidH559, The LORDH3068 is GodH430 of the hillsH2022, but he is not GodH430 of the valleysH6010, therefore will I deliverH5414 all this greatH1419 multitudeH1995 into thine handH3027, and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And they pitchedH2583 oneH428 over againstH5227 the otherH428 sevenH7651 daysH3117. And so it was, that in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the battleH4421 was joinedH7126: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH5221 of the SyriansH758 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273 in oneH259 dayH3117.
But the restH3498 fledH5127 to AphekH663, into the cityH5892; and there a wallH2346 fellH5307 upon twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 of the menH376 that were leftH3498. And BenhadadH1130 fledH5127, and cameH935 into the cityH5892, into an innerH2315 chamberH2315. {into an…: or, from chamber to chamber: Heb. into a chamber within a chamber}
So JoabH3097 and the peopleH5971 that were with him drew nighH5066 beforeH6440 the SyriansH758 unto the battleH4421; and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 him.
And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that the SyriansH758 were fledH5127, they likewise fledH5127 beforeH6440 AbishaiH52 his brotherH251, and enteredH935 into the cityH5892. Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Ought ye not to knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 the kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 for everH5769, even to him and to his sonsH1121 by a covenantH1285 of saltH4417?
Yet JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, the servantH5650 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732, is risen upH6965, and hath rebelledH4775 against his lordH113.
And there are gatheredH6908 unto him vainH7386 menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, and have strengthenedH553 themselves against RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, when RehoboamH7346 was youngH5288 and tenderheartedH7390+H3824, and could not withstandH2388 themH6440.
And now ye thinkH559 to withstandH2388 the kingdomH6440+H4467 of the LORDH3068 in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; and ye be a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and there are with you goldenH2091 calvesH5695, which JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 you for godsH430.
Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH4390+H3027 himself with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. {to consecrate…: Heb. to fill his hand}
But as for us, the LORDH3068 is our GodH430, and we have not forsakenH5800 him; and the priestsH3548, which ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068, are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881 wait upon their businessH4399:
And they burnH6999 unto the LORDH3068 every morningH1242 and every eveningH6153 burnt sacrificesH5930 and sweetH5561 incenseH7004: the shewbreadH3899+H4635 also set they in order upon the pureH2889 tableH7979; and the candlestickH4501 of goldH2091 with the lampsH5216 thereof, to burnH1197 every eveningH6153: for we keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430; but ye have forsakenH5800 him.
And, behold, GodH430 himself is with us for our captainH7218, and his priestsH3548 with soundingH8643 trumpetsH2689 to cry alarmH7321 against you. O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, fightH3898 ye not against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1; for ye shall not prosperH6743.
But JeroboamH3379 caused an ambushmentH3993 to comeH935 aboutH5437 behindH310 them: so they were beforeH6440 JudahH3063, and the ambushmentH3993 was behindH310 them.
And when JudahH3063 looked backH6437, behold, the battleH4421 was beforeH6440 and behindH268: and they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690+H2690 with the trumpetsH2689.
Then the menH376 of JudahH3063 gave a shoutH7321: and as the menH376 of JudahH3063 shoutedH7321, it came to pass, that GodH430 smoteH5062 JeroboamH3379 and all IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 AbijahH29 and JudahH3063.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 beforeH6440 JudahH3063: and GodH430 deliveredH5414 them into their handH3027.
