2 Samuel 10
La Biblia de las Américas
Humillación de los siervos de David
10 (A)Sucedió después de esto que murió el rey de los hijos de Amón(B), y su hijo Hanún reinó en su lugar. 2 Y David dijo: Seré bondadoso con Hanún, hijo de Nahas(C), tal como su padre fue bondadoso conmigo. Envió, pues, David algunos[a] de sus siervos para consolarlo por la muerte de su padre. Pero cuando los siervos de David llegaron a la tierra de los amonitas, 3 los príncipes de los amonitas dijeron a Hanún su señor: ¿Crees tú que David está[b] honrando a tu padre porque te ha enviado consoladores? ¿No te ha enviado David sus siervos para reconocer la ciudad, para espiarla y conquistarla(D)? 4 Entonces Hanún tomó a los siervos de David, les rasuró la mitad de la barba, les cortó los vestidos(E) por la mitad hasta las caderas, y los despidió(F). 5 Cuando le avisaron a David, envió a encontrarlos, porque los hombres estaban sumamente avergonzados. Y el rey les dijo: Quedaos en[c] Jericó hasta que os crezca la barba, y después volved.
6 Al ver los hijos de Amón que se habían hecho odiosos a David(G), los hijos de Amón mandaron a tomar a sueldo a los arameos de Bet-rehob(H) y a los arameos de Soba(I), veinte mil soldados de a pie, y del rey de Maaca(J) mil hombres, y de Is-tob doce mil hombres(K). 7 Cuando David se enteró, envió a Joab y a todo el ejército de los valientes. 8 Y los hijos de Amón salieron y se pusieron en orden de batalla a la entrada de la ciudad[d](L), mientras que los arameos de Soba y de Rehob y los hombres de Is-tob(M) y de Maaca estaban aparte en el campo.
Derrota de Amón y Aram
9 Viendo Joab que se le presentaba batalla[e] por el frente y por la retaguardia, escogió de entre todos los mejores hombres de Israel, y los puso en orden de batalla contra los arameos. 10 Al resto del pueblo lo colocó al mando de su hermano Abisai y lo puso en orden de batalla contra los hijos de Amón. 11 Y dijo: Si los arameos son demasiado fuertes para mí, entonces tú me ayudarás, y si los hijos de Amón son demasiado fuertes para ti, entonces vendré en tu ayuda. 12 Esfuérzate, y mostrémonos valientes por amor a nuestro pueblo y por amor a las ciudades de nuestro Dios(N); y que el Señor haga lo que le parezca bien[f](O). 13 Entonces se acercó Joab con el pueblo que estaba con él para pelear contra los arameos, y estos huyeron delante de él(P). 14 Cuando los hijos de Amón vieron que los arameos huían, ellos también huyeron delante de Abisai y entraron en la ciudad. Entonces Joab se volvió de pelear contra los hijos de Amón y vino a Jerusalén(Q).
15 Al ver los arameos que habían sido derrotados por[g] Israel, volvieron a concentrarse. 16 Hadad-ezer mandó sacar a los arameos que estaban al otro lado del río[h] y fueron a Helam; y Sobac(R), comandante del ejército de Hadad-ezer, iba al frente de ellos(S). 17 Cuando se dio aviso a David, este reunió a todo Israel, cruzó el Jordán y llegó a Helam. Los arameos se pusieron en orden de batalla para enfrentarse a David, y pelearon contra él. 18 Pero los arameos huyeron delante de Israel, y David mató a setecientos hombres de los carros de los arameos, y a cuarenta mil hombres de a caballo, e hirió a Sobac, comandante de su ejército(T), el cual murió allí. 19 Cuando todos los reyes, siervos de Hadad-ezer, vieron que habían sido derrotados por[i] Israel, hicieron la paz con Israel y le sirvieron(U). Y los arameos tuvieron temor de ayudar más a los hijos de Amón.

New King James Version
The Ammonites and Syrians Defeated(A)
10 It happened after this that the (B)king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place. 2 Then David said, “I will show (C)kindness to Hanun the son of (D)Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.”
So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the people of Ammon. 3 And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, (E)at their buttocks, and sent them away. 5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly [a]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 (F)had made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired (G)the Syrians of (H)Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of (I)Maacah one thousand men, and from (J)Ish-Tob twelve thousand men. 7 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of (K)the mighty men. 8 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And (L)the Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9 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. 10 And the rest of the people he put under the command of (M)Abishai his brother, that he might set them in battle array against the people of Ammon. 11 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 come and help you. 12 (N)Be of good courage, and let us (O)be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may (P)the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. 14 When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went to (Q)Jerusalem.
15 When the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered together. 16 Then [b]Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond [c]the River, and they came to Helam. And [d]Shobach 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 to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him. 18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand (R)horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants to [e]Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and (S)served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.

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.

以色列人戰勝亞捫人
10 後來,亞捫王死了,他兒子哈嫩繼位。 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, 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?他不過是來探聽虛實,想征服我們的城。」 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 亞捫人知道得罪了大衛,便派人到伯·利合和瑣巴招募了兩萬名亞蘭步兵、瑪迦王的一千人和一萬二千名陀伯人。 7 大衛聽見消息後,就派約押率領全體勇士出戰。 8 亞捫人在城門前列陣,瑣巴和利合的亞蘭人、陀伯人以及瑪迦人在郊野列陣。 9 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, 10 把餘下的軍兵交給他的兄弟亞比篩帶領,迎戰亞捫人。
11 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。 12 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!」
13 於是,約押率領軍兵進攻亞蘭人,亞蘭人敗逃。 14 亞捫人見亞蘭人敗逃,也從亞比篩面前逃回城去。約押打完亞捫人,便回師耶路撒冷。
15 亞蘭人見自己敗在以色列人手下,便再次聚集起來。 16 哈大底謝派人把幼發拉底河那邊的亞蘭人調到希蘭來,由他的將軍朔法率領。 17 大衛聽到消息後,就召集以色列全軍,渡過約旦河,來到希蘭。亞蘭人列陣迎戰大衛, 18 結果又敗在以色列人手下,四散逃命。大衛殺了七百名戰車兵、四萬騎兵,還殺了他們的將軍朔法。 19 哈大底謝屬下的諸王見自己被以色列人打敗,便向以色列人求和,臣服大衛。從此,亞蘭人再也不敢支援亞捫人了。
