大卫的使者受辱(A)
19 后来，亚扪人的王拿辖死了，他的儿子接续他作王。 2 大卫说：“我要恩待拿辖的儿子哈嫩，因为他的父亲曾恩待我。”于是大卫差派使者去为了他丧父的事安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人境内，去见哈嫩要安慰他。 3 但亚扪人的众领袖对哈嫩说：“大卫差派这些慰问的人到你这里来，你以为他是尊敬你父亲吗？他的臣仆来见你，不是为了窥探、倾覆、侦察这地吗？” 4 于是，哈嫩拿住大卫的臣仆，剃去他们的胡须，又把他们的衣服，从臀部以下割去半截，然后才放他们走。 5 有人去把这些人遭遇的事告诉大卫，他就派人去迎接他们；因为他们非常羞耻，王就说：“你们可以住在耶利哥，等到你们的胡须长长了才回来。”
亚扪人备战(B)
6 亚扪人看见自己与大卫结了仇恨，哈嫩和亚扪人就派人用三万公斤银子，从米所波大米、亚兰玛迦和琐巴去雇战车和马兵。 7 他们雇了三万二千辆战车，以及玛迦王和他的军队；他们都来在米底巴前面安营。亚扪人也从他们的各城聚集起来，出来作战。 8 大卫听见了，就差派约押和全体勇士出去。 9 亚扪人出来，在城门前摆阵；前来助阵的列王，也在田野摆阵。
亚兰人与亚扪人败退(C)
10 约押看见自己前后受敌，就从以色列所有的精兵中，挑选一部分出来，使他们摆阵去迎战亚兰人， 11 他把其余的人交在他兄弟亚比筛手下，使他们摆阵去迎战亚扪人。 12 约押对亚比筛说：“如果亚兰人比我强，你就来帮助我；如果亚扪人比你强，我就去帮助你。 13 你当刚强；为了我们的人民和我们 神的众城镇，我们要刚强；愿耶和华成全他看为美的行事。”
大卫击败亚兰人与亚扪人(D)
14 于是约押和他的军队前进，预备作战攻打亚兰人；亚兰人却在约押面前逃跑了。 15 亚扪人看见亚兰人逃跑，他们也在约押的兄弟亚比筛面前逃跑，退回城里。约押就回耶路撒冷去了。
16 亚兰人看见自己在以色列人面前被打败，就差派使者去把大河那边的亚兰人调过来，有哈大底谢的元帅朔法率领他们。 17 大卫得到报告，就招聚以色列众人，渡过约旦河，来到亚兰人那里，向他们摆阵。大卫摆好阵迎战亚兰人，亚兰人就与他交战。 18 亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑；大卫杀了亚兰人七千辆战车上的军兵和四万步兵。又杀了亚兰人的元帅朔法。 19 哈大底谢的臣仆看见自己在以色列人面前被打败了，就与大卫议和，臣服了他；于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人。

Chapter 19
Campaigns Against Ammon. 1 (A)Afterward Nahash, king of the Ammonites, died and his son succeeded him as king. 2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, for his father showed kindness to me.” Therefore he sent envoys to console him over his father. But when David’s servants had entered the land of the Ammonites to console Hanun, 3 the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you think David is doing this—sending you these consolers—to honor your father? Have not his servants rather come to you to explore the land, spying it out for its overthrow?” 4 So Hanun seized David’s servants and had them shaved and their garments cut off halfway at the hips. Then he sent them away. 5 David was told about the men, and he sent word for them to be intercepted, for the men had been greatly disgraced. “Remain at Jericho,” the king told them, “until your beards have grown again; then come back here.”
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had put themselves in bad odor with David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram Naharaim, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah. 7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots along with the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. The Ammonites also assembled from their cities and came out for war.
8 When David heard of this, he sent Joab and his whole army of warriors against them. 9 The Ammonites marched out and lined up for battle at the entrance of the city, while the kings who had come to their help remained apart in the open field. 10 When Joab saw that there was a battle line both in front of and behind him, he chose some of the best fighters among the Israelites and lined them up against the Arameans; 11 the rest of the army, which he placed under the command of his brother Abishai, then lined up to oppose the Ammonites. 12 And he said: “If the Arameans prove too strong for me, you must come and save me; and if the Ammonites prove too strong for you, I will save you. 13 Hold firm and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and the cities of our God; and may the Lord do what is good in his sight.” 14 Joab therefore advanced with his men to engage the Arameans in battle; but they fled before him. 15 And when the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before his brother Abishai, and entered their city. Joab then came to Jerusalem.
16 Seeing themselves vanquished by Israel, the Arameans sent messengers to bring out the Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army, at their head. 17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and met them. With the army of David drawn up to fight the Arameans, they gave battle. 18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their chariot fighters and forty thousand of their foot soldiers; he also put to death Shophach, the commander of the army. 19 When the vassals of Hadadezer saw themselves vanquished by Israel, they made peace with David and became his subjects. After this, the Arameans refused to come to the aid of the Ammonites.
