Chap. X.
Hanon king of Ammon for euil entreating Dauids men, sent vnto him of
curtesie, 7. is iustly plagued, with his confederates. 15. Also the second
time they are ouerthrowen by Dauid.
1 And it came to passe after these thinges, that the king of
the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his sonne
reigned for him.
2 And Dauid said: I wil doe mercie with
Hanon the sonne of Naas, as note his father hath done mercie
with me. Dauid therefore sent, conforting him by his seruants
vpon his fathers death. But when the seruantes of Dauid
were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon
their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father
Dauid hath sent comforters vnto thee, and not rather that
he might search, and spy into the citie, and ouerthrow it, hath
Dauid sent his seruants vnto thee?
4 Hanon therefore tooke
the seruants of Dauid, and shaued the one half of their breard,
and cutte away halfe their garments vnto the buttockes, and
sent them away.
5 Which when it was told Dauid, he sent to
meete them: for the men were counfounded very fowly, and
Dauid commanded them: Tary in Iericho, til your beard be
growen, and then returne.
6 And the children of Ammon
seing that they had done iniurie to Dauid, sent, and hyred for
wages the Syrian of Rohob, and the Syrian of Soba, twentie
thousand footemen, and of the king Maacha a thousand men,
and of Istob twelue thousand men.
7 Which when Dauid had
heard, he sent Ioab and the whole armie of warryers.
8 The
children therefore of Ammon issued forth, and sette their
men in aray before the verie entrance of the gate: but the
Syrian of Soba, and Rohab, and Istob, and Maacha were
by themselues in the fielde.
9 Ioab therefore seing, that

there was battel prepared against him, both before him
and behind him, he piked out of al the chosen of Israel, and
directed his armie agaynst the Sytian:
10 and the rest of the
people he deliuered to Abisai his brother, who directed his
armie against the children of Ammon.
11 And Ioab sayd: If
the Syrian shal preuayle against me, thou shalt ayde me: and
if the children of Ammon shal preuayle agaynst thee, I wil
ayde thee.
12 Play the man, and let vs fight for our people, and
the citie of our God: and our Lord wil doe that which is good
in his sight.
13 Ioab therefore and the people that were with
him, began to fight against the Syrians: Who immediatly fled
from his face.
14 And the children of Ammon seing that the
Syrians were fled, they also fled from the face of Abisai, and
entred into the citie: and Ioab returned from the children of
Ammon, and came to Ierusalem.
15 Therefore the Syrians
seing that they were fallen before Israel, they gathered them
selues together.
16 And Adar-ezer sent, and fetched out the
Syrians, that were beyond the riuer, and brought their armie:
and Sobach the maister of Adar-ezers warre, was their chief
captaine.
17 Which when it was told Dauid, he gathered together
al Israel, and passed ouer Iordan, and came into Helam:
& the Syrians put them selues in aray against Dauid, & fought
against him.
18 And the Syrians fled from the face of Israel, and
Dauid slewe of the Syrians seuen hundred chariotes, and fourtie
thousand horsemen: and Sobach the prince of the warre he
stroke: who forthwith died.
19 And al the kinges, that were to
ayde Adarezer, seing them selues ouercome of Israel, were
afrayd and fled eight & fiftie thousand before Israel. And they
made peace with Israel: and serued them, and the Syrians were
afrayd any more to ayde the children of Ammon.
