note
The king of Ammon euil intreating king Dauids men, whom he had curteously
sent to condole the death of his father, is ouerthrowen in battel.
16. with the A&esset;yrians his hyred confederates.
1 And it chanced that Naas the king of the children of
Ammon died, and his sonne reigned for him.
2 And
Dauid sayd: I wil do mercie with Hanon the sonne of Naas:
for his father hath done me pleasure. And Dauid sent messengers
to confort him vpon the death of his father. Who when
they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to
confort Hanon,
3 the princes of the children of Ammon
fayd to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps, that Dauid for honour
sake toward thy father hath sent some that should comfort
thee: neither markest thou, that his seruantes are come
to thee to espie, and seeke out, and searche thy land.
4 Therfore
Hanon made the seruantes of Dauid balde, and shaued
them, and cut away their cotes from the buttockes to the
feete, and sent them away.
5 Who when they were gone,
and had sent word to Dauid, he sent to meete them (for they
had susteyned great reproch) and commanded them to tarie
in Iericho, til their beard grewe, and then they should returne.
6 And the children of Ammon seing, that they had
done iniurie to Dauid, as wel Hanon as the rest of the people,
they sent a thousand talents of siluer, to hyre them chariotes
and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and from Siria Maacha,
and from Soba.
7 And they hyred two and thirtre thousand
chariotes, and king Maacha with his people. Who when they
were come, camped ouer agaynst Medaba. The children of
Ammon also being gathered together out of their cities, came
to the battel.
8 Which when Dauid had heard, he sent Ioab,
and al the host of valiant men:
9 and the children of Ammon
issuing forth, put their armie in aray beside the gate of the
citie: and the kinges, that were come to ayde him, stood apart
in the field.
10 Ioab therfore vnderstanding that battel was
-- --
Dauid.
made agaynst him before and behind, chose the most valiant
men of al Israel, and marched on against the Syrian.
11 And
the rest of the people he gaue vnder the hand of Abisai his
brother: and they went forth agaynst the children of Ammon
12 And he sayd: If the Syrian shal ouercome me, thou
shalt ayde me: and if the children of Ammon shal ouercome
thee, I wil ayde thee.
13 Take courage, and let vs play the
men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and our
Lord wil doe that which is good in his sight.
14 Ioab therfore
marched on, and the people that were with him, agaynst the
Syrian to battel: and he put them to flight.
15 Moreouer the
children of Ammon seing that the Syrian was fled, themselues
also fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the citie: and
Ioab also returned into Ierusalem.
16 But the Syrian seing that
he was fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought the
Syrian, that was beyond the riuer: and Sophach the General
of Aderezers warre, was their captayne.
17 Which when it
was told Dauid, he gathered together al Israel, and passed Iordan,
and fel vpon them, and directed his armie agaynst him,
they fighting on the contrarie part.
18 And the Syrian fled
from Israel: and Dauid slewe of the Syrians seuen thousand
chariotes, and fourtie thousand footemen, and Sophach General
of the armie.
19 And the seruantes of Adarezer seing
themselues to be ouercome of Israel, fled to Dauid, & serued
him: and Syria would no more giue ayde to the children of
Ammon.
