David besegrar ammoniterna
10 (A) En tid därefter dog ammoniternas kung, och hans son Hanun blev kung efter honom. 2 Då sade David: ”Jag vill visa godhet mot Hanun,[a] Nahashs son, eftersom hans far visade mig godhet.” Och David sände några av sina tjänare för att trösta honom i sorgen efter hans far.
När Davids tjänare kom till ammoniternas land, 3 sade ammoniternas furstar till sin herre Hanun: ”Tror du att David sänder tröstare till dig för att visa att han hedrar din far? Nej, det är för att utforska staden och spionera på den och sedan störta den som David har sänt sina tjänare till dig.” 4 Då grep Hanun Davids tjänare och lät raka av dem halva skägget[b] och skära av deras kläder mitt på, ända uppe vid sätet, och skickade sedan i väg dem. 5 När man berättade det för David sände han några för att möta dem, eftersom männen var djupt förnedrade. Kungen lät säga: ”Stanna i Jeriko tills ert skägg har växt ut. Kom sedan tillbaka.”
6 När ammoniterna insåg att de hade gjort sig förhatliga för David, sände de bud och lejde från Aram-Bet-Rehob och Aram-Soba 20 000 man fotfolk, och av kungen i Maaka[c] 1 000 man och av Tobs[d] män 12 000 man. 7 När David hörde det sände han i väg Joab med hela hären, de tappraste krigarna. 8 (B) Och ammoniterna drog ut och ställde upp sig till strid vid ingången till staden, medan de som var från Aram-Soba och Rehob tillsammans med Tobs män och maakateerna gick i ställning för sig själva på fältet.
9 Joab såg att han hade fiender både framför sig och bakom sig. Han valde då ut en del av Israels bästa manskap och ställde upp dem mot arameerna. 10 Resten av hären överlämnade han till sin bror Abishaj, som ställde upp dem mot ammoniterna. 11 Han sade: ”Om arameerna blir för starka för mig ska du komma till min hjälp, och om ammoniterna blir för starka för dig kommer jag till din hjälp. 12 Var modig! Låt oss kämpa tappert för vårt folk och för vår Guds städer. Herren ska göra vad han finner bäst.” 13 Därefter ryckte Joab fram med sitt folk till strid mot arameerna, och de flydde för honom. 14 När ammoniterna såg att arameerna tog till flykten, flydde också de för Abishaj och gick in i staden. Då drog Joab bort från ammoniterna och återvände[e] till Jerusalem.
15 När arameerna såg att de hade blivit slagna av Israel återsamlade de sina styrkor. 16 Hadadezer sände bud efter arameerna som bodde på andra sidan floden, och de kom till Helam anförda av Shobak, Hadadezers överbefälhavare. 17 När David fick veta det, samlade han hela Israel och gick över Jordan och kom till Helam. Arameerna gick i ställning mot David och gav sig i strid med honom. 18 Men arameerna flydde för Israel, och David dödade av arameerna manskapet på 700 vagnar och 40 000 ryttare. Han slog också ner deras överbefälhavare Sobak så att han dog där.
19 När Hadadezers alla lydkungar såg att de hade blivit besegrade av israeliterna, slöt de fred med Israel och gav sig under dem. Och arameerna vågade sedan inte hjälpa ammoniterna mer.

击败亚扪人和亚兰人(A)
10 此后,亚扪人的王死了,他儿子哈嫩接续他作王。 2 大卫说:“哈嫩的父亲拿辖怎样向我施恩,我也要怎样向哈嫩施恩。”于是大卫派臣仆为他的父亲安慰他。当大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内, 3 亚扪人的领袖对他们的主哈嫩说:“大卫派人来安慰你,你看他是要尊敬你父亲吗?大卫派臣仆到你这里,不是为了要窥探侦察,而倾覆这城吗?” 4 哈嫩就抓住大卫的臣仆,把他们的胡须剃去一半,又割断他们下半截的袍子,露出下体,然后放了他们。 5 有人告诉大卫,他就派人去迎接他们,因为这些人觉得很羞耻。王说:“可以住在耶利哥,等到胡须长出来再回来。”
6 亚扪人看到大卫憎恶他们,就派人去雇用伯‧利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人,步兵二万,以及玛迦王的人一千、陀伯人一万二千。 7 大卫听见了,就派约押和所有勇猛的军队出去。 8 亚扪人出来,在城门前摆阵;琐巴与利合的亚兰人、陀伯人,以及玛迦人另外在郊野摆阵。
9 约押看见战阵对着他前后摆列,就把从以色列所有精兵中挑选出来的,摆阵迎战亚兰人。 10 他把其余的兵交在他兄弟亚比筛手里,亚比筛就摆阵迎战亚扪人。 11 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。 12 你要刚强,我们要为自己的百姓,为我们 神的城镇奋勇。愿耶和华照他所看为好的去做!” 13 于是,约押和跟随他的士兵前进攻打亚兰人;亚兰人在他面前逃跑。 14 亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑,他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑进城。约押就离开亚扪人,回耶路撒冷去了。
15 亚兰人见自己被以色列打败,就集合起来。 16 哈大底谢派人去,把大河那边的亚兰人调来;他们到了希兰,由哈大底谢的将军朔法在他们前面率领。 17 有人告诉大卫,他就聚集以色列众人过约旦河,来到希兰。亚兰人迎着大卫摆阵,与他打仗。 18 亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑。大卫杀了亚兰七百辆战车的士兵,四万骑兵[a],又击杀亚兰的将军朔法,他就死在那里。 19 哈大底谢属下的诸王见自己被以色列打败,就与以色列讲和,臣服他们。于是亚兰人害怕,不再帮助亚扪人了。

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.

David Defeats Ammon and Syria
10 (A)After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place. 2 And David said, “I will deal loyally[a] with Hanun the son of (B)Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me.” So David sent 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 honouring 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, (C)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 a stench to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of (D)Beth-rehob, and (E)the Syrians of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of (F)Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of (G)Tob, 12,000 men. 7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the host of (H)the mighty men. 8 And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and (I)the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and (J)the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
9 When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians. 10 The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai 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 (K)Be of good courage, and (L)let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and (M)may the Lord do what seems good to him.” 13 So Joab 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 Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab 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 Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond (N)the Euphrates.[b] They came to Helam, with (O)Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head. 17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan and came to Helam. The Syrians arrayed themselves against David and fought with him. 18 And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 700 chariots, and 40,000 horsemen, and wounded (P)Shobach the commander of their army, so that he died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel (Q)and became subject to them. So the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites any more.
