撒母耳记下 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以色列人战胜亚扪人
10 后来,亚扪王死了,他儿子哈嫩继位。 2 大卫说:“我要恩待拿辖的儿子哈嫩,因为他父亲曾经恩待我。”他便派臣仆去安慰丧父的哈嫩。大卫的臣仆来到亚扪境内, 3 亚扪的官长却对哈嫩说:“大卫派人来安慰你,你以为他是来吊唁你父亲吗?他不过是来探听虚实,想征服我们的城。” 4 哈嫩便把大卫的臣仆抓起来,剃去他们一半胡子,割去他们下身的衣服,然后放走他们。 5 消息传到大卫那里,他就派人去迎接他们,告诉他们住在耶利哥,等胡须长好了再回来,因为他们倍觉羞辱。
6 亚扪人知道得罪了大卫,便派人到伯·利合和琐巴招募了两万名亚兰步兵、玛迦王的一千人和一万二千名陀伯人。 7 大卫听见消息后,就派约押率领全体勇士出战。 8 亚扪人在城门前列阵,琐巴和利合的亚兰人、陀伯人以及玛迦人在郊野列阵。 9 约押见自己前后受敌,就从以色列军中挑选一些精兵迎战亚兰人, 10 把余下的军兵交给他的兄弟亚比筛带领,迎战亚扪人。
11 他对亚比筛说:“倘若我胜不过亚兰人,你便过来支援我;倘若你胜不过亚扪人,我便过去支援你。 12 我们要刚强,为我们的人民和我们上帝的城邑而奋勇作战。愿耶和华成全祂自己的旨意!”
13 于是,约押率领军兵进攻亚兰人,亚兰人败逃。 14 亚扪人见亚兰人败逃,也从亚比筛面前逃回城去。约押打完亚扪人,便回师耶路撒冷。
15 亚兰人见自己败在以色列人手下,便再次聚集起来。 16 哈大底谢派人把幼发拉底河那边的亚兰人调到希兰来,由他的将军朔法率领。 17 大卫听到消息后,就召集以色列全军,渡过约旦河,来到希兰。亚兰人列阵迎战大卫, 18 结果又败在以色列人手下,四散逃命。大卫杀了七百名战车兵、四万骑兵,还杀了他们的将军朔法。 19 哈大底谢属下的诸王见自己被以色列人打败,便向以色列人求和,臣服大卫。从此,亚兰人再也不敢支援亚扪人了。

La Nuova Diodati
10 Dopo queste cose, avvenne che il re dei figli di Ammon morí e suo Figlio Hanun regnò al suo posto.
2 Davide disse: «lo voglio usare con Hanun, figlio di Nahash, la stessa benevolenza che suo padre usò con me». Cosí Davide mandò i suoi servi a consolarlo della perdita del padre. Ma quando i servi di Davide giunsero nel paese dei figli di Ammon,
3 i capi dei figli di Ammon dissero ad Hanun, loro signore: «Credi proprio che Davide ti abbia mandato dei consolatori per onorare tuo padre? Non ha piuttosto mandato da te i suoi servi per esplorare la città, per spiarla e distruggerla?».
4 Allora Hanun prese i servi di Davide, fece loro radere metà della barba e tagliare le loro vesti a metà fino alle natiche, poi li lasciò andare.
5 Informato della cosa, Davide mandò alcuni ad incontrarli, perché quegli uomini erano pieni di vergogna. Il re fece dir loro: «Rimanete a Gerico finché vi ricresca la barba, poi ritornerete».
6 Quando i figli di Ammon si accorsero di essersi resi odiosi a Davide, mandarono ad assoldare ventimila fanti dei Siri di Beth-Rehob e dei Siri di Tsoba, mille uomini del re di Maakah e dodicimila uomini della gente di Tob.
7 Come Davide udí questo, inviò contro di loro Joab con tutto l'esercito di uomini valorosi.
8 I figli di Ammon uscirono e si schierarono in ordine di battaglia all'ingresso della porta della città, mentre i Siri di Tsoba e di Rehob, e la gente di Tob e di Maakah si disposero in aperta campagna.
9 Quando Joab si rese conto che aveva contro di se due fronti di battaglia, uno davanti e l'altro dietro, scelse alcuni fra gli uomini migliori d'Israele e li dispose in ordine di battaglia contro i Siri;
10 affidò quindi il resto del popolo agli ordini di suo fratello Abishai, per schierarsi contro i figli di Ammon.
11 Poi gli disse: «Se i Siri sono piú forti di me, tu mi verrai in aiuto; se invece i figli di Ammon sono piú forti di te, allora verrò io in tuo aiuto.
12 Sii coraggioso e mostriamoci forti per il nostro popolo e per le città del nostro DIO; e l'Eterno faccia ciò che a lui piacerà».
13 Poi Joab con la gente che aveva con sé avanzò per dar battaglia ai Siri; ma essi fuggirono davanti a lui.
14 Quando i figli di Ammon videro che i Siri erano fuggiti, fuggirono anch'essi davanti ad Abishai e rientrarono nella città. Allora Joab se ne tornò dalla spedizione contro i figli di Ammon e venne a Gerusalemme.
15 Quando i Siri videro che erano stati sconfitti da Israele si riunirono insieme.
16 Hadadezer mandò messaggeri per far venire i Siri che erano di là dal Fiume. Essi giunsero a Helam, con alla testa Shobak, capo dell'esercito di Hadadezer.
17 Quando Davide fu informato della cosa, radunò tutto Israele, passò il Giordano e giunse a Helam. I Siri si schierarono contro Davide e gli diedero battaglia.
18 Ma i Siri fuggirono davanti a Israele; e Davide uccise dei Siri gli uomini di settecento carri e quarantamila cavalieri e colpí Shobak, capo del loro esercito, che morí in quel luogo.
19 Quando tutti i re vassalli di Hadadezer si videro sconfitti da Israele, fecero pace con Israele e furono a lui sottoposti. Cosí i Siri ebbero paura di prestare ancora aiuto ai figli di Ammon.
2 Samuel 10
New International Version
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.

King James Version
10 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good.
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
2 Samuel 10
Revised Standard Version
The Ammonites and Arameans Are Defeated
10 After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 2 And David said, “I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me.” So David sent by his servants to console him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the Ammonites. 3 But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off half the beard of each, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away. 5 When it was told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 When the Ammonites saw that they had become odious to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-re′hob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and the king of Ma′acah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob, twelve thousand men. 7 And when David heard of it, he sent Jo′ab and all the host of the mighty men. 8 And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate; and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Ma′acah, were by themselves in the open country.
9 When Jo′ab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Syrians; 10 the rest of his men he put in the charge of Abi′shai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites. 11 And he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 12 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.” 13 So Jo′ab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him. 14 And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abi′shai, and entered the city. Then Jo′ab returned from fighting against the Ammonites, and came to Jerusalem.
15 But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together. 16 And Hadade′zer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphra′tes;[a] and they came to Helam, with Shobach the commander of the army of Hadade′zer at their head. 17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians arrayed themselves against David, and fought with him. 18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and wounded Shobach the commander of their army, so that he died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadade′zer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel, and became subject to them. So the Syrians feared to help the Ammonites any more.
