大卫遣使诣哈嫩
19 此后，亚扪人的王拿辖死了，他儿子接续他做王。 2 大卫说：“我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典，厚待哈嫩。”于是大卫差遣使者为他丧父安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内见哈嫩，要安慰他， 3 但亚扪人的首领对哈嫩说：“大卫差人来安慰你，你想他是尊敬你父亲吗？他的臣仆来见你不是为详察窥探，倾覆这地吗？” 4 哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半，又割断他们下半截的衣服，使他们露出下体，打发他们回去。 5 有人将臣仆所遇的事告诉大卫，他就差人去迎接他们，因为他们甚觉羞耻。告诉他们说：“可以住在耶利哥，等到胡须长起再回来。”
亚扪人备战
6 亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们，哈嫩和亚扪人就打发人拿一千他连得银子，从美索不达米亚、亚兰玛迦、琐巴雇战车和马兵。 7 于是雇了三万二千辆战车和玛迦王并他的军兵，他们来安营在米底巴前。亚扪人也从他们的城里出来，聚集交战。 8 大卫听见了，就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去。 9 亚扪人出来，在城门前摆阵，所来的诸王另在郊野摆阵。
亚兰人与亚扪人败遁
10 约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵，就从以色列军中挑选精兵，使他们对着亚兰人摆阵， 11 其余的兵交于他兄弟亚比筛，对着亚扪人摆阵。 12 约押对亚比筛说：“亚兰人若强过我，你就来帮助我；亚扪人若强过你，我就去帮助你。 13 我们都当刚强，为本国的民和神的城邑做大丈夫！愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行。” 14 于是约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人，亚兰人在约押面前逃跑。 15 亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑，他们也在约押的兄弟亚比筛面前逃跑进城。约押就回耶路撒冷去了。
16 亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败，就打发使者将大河那边的亚兰人调来，哈大利谢的将军朔法率领他们。 17 有人告诉大卫，他就聚集以色列众人，过约旦河，来到亚兰人那里，迎着他们摆阵。大卫既摆阵攻击亚兰人，亚兰人就与他打仗。 18 亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑，大卫杀了亚兰七千辆战车的人、四万步兵，又杀了亚兰的将军朔法。 19 属哈大利谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败，就与大卫和好，归服他。于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了。

大衛擊敗亞捫人和亞蘭人
19 後來，亞捫王拿轄死了，他兒子繼位。 2 大衛說：「我要恩待拿轄的兒子哈嫩，因為他父親曾經恩待我。」他便派臣僕去安慰喪父的哈嫩。大衛的臣僕來到亞捫境內要安慰哈嫩， 3 亞捫的官長卻對哈嫩說：「大衛派人來安慰你，你以為他是來弔唁你父親嗎？他的臣僕來見你不過是來探聽虛實，想征服這地方。」 4 哈嫩便把大衛的臣僕抓起來，剃去他們一半鬍子，割去他們下身的衣服，然後放走他們。 5 消息傳到大衛那裡，他就派人去迎接他們，告訴他們住在耶利哥，等鬍鬚長好了再回來，因為他們倍覺羞辱。
6 哈嫩及其他亞捫人知道得罪了大衛，就派人用三十四噸銀子從美索不達米亞、亞蘭瑪迦和瑣巴招兵買馬， 7 雇了三萬二千輛戰車和瑪迦王及其軍隊。他們在米底巴附近紮營，亞捫人也從各城出來準備作戰。 8 大衛聽見消息後，就派約押率領全體勇士出戰。 9 亞捫人在城門前列陣，來助戰的諸王在郊野列陣。
10 約押見自己前後受敵，就從以色列軍中挑選一些精兵迎戰亞蘭人， 11 把餘下的軍兵交給他的兄弟亞比篩領導，迎戰亞捫人。 12 他對亞比篩說：「倘若我勝不過亞蘭人，你便過來支援我；倘若你勝不過亞捫人，我便過去支援你。 13 我們要剛強，為我們的人民和我們上帝的城邑而奮勇作戰。願耶和華成全祂自己的旨意！」 14 於是，約押率領軍兵進攻亞蘭人，亞蘭人敗逃。 15 見亞蘭人敗逃，亞捫人也逃離亞比篩，退回城中。約押便回師耶路撒冷。
16 亞蘭人見自己敗在以色列人手下，就派使者調來幼發拉底河那邊的亞蘭人，由哈大底謝的將軍朔法率領。 17 大衛聽到消息後，就召集以色列全軍，渡過約旦河，列陣與亞蘭人交戰。 18 他們擊潰了亞蘭人，殺了七千名戰車兵、四萬步兵，還殺了他們的將軍朔法。 19 哈大底謝的屬下見自己敗於以色列人，便向大衛求和，臣服於他。從此，亞蘭人不敢再支援亞捫人了。
1 Chronicles 19
New King James Version
The Ammonites and Syrians Defeated(A)
19 It(B) happened after this that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. 2 Then David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.
3 And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, [a]“Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?”
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments [b]in the middle, at their (C)buttocks, and sent them away. 5 Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from [c]Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maacah, (D)and from [d]Zobah. 7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men. 9 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array before the gate of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s best and put them in battle array against the Syrians. 11 And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the people of Ammon. 12 Then he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you. 13 Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. 15 When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab went to Jerusalem.
16 Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond [e]the River, and [f]Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them. 17 When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him. 18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed [g]seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand [h]foot soldiers of the Syrians, and killed Shophach the commander of the army. 19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.

King James Version
19 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for 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 had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 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 help thee.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
