19 Mbas këtyre ngjarjeve ndodhi që Nahashi, mbret i bijve të Amonit, vdiq dhe i biri mbretëroi në vend të tij.
2 Davidi tha: "Unë dua të përdor me Hanunin, birin e Nahashit, po atë dashamirësi që i ati ka treguar ndaj meje". Kështu Davidi dërgoi lajmëtarë për ta ngushëlluar për humbjen e atit të tij. Por kur shërbëtorët e Davidit arritën ne vendin e bijve të Amonit te Hanuni për ta ngushëlluar,
3 krerët e bijve të Amonit i thanë Hanunit: "Ti beson që Davidi të ka dërguar ngushëllues për të nderuar atin tënd? Shërbëtorët e tij a nuk kanë ardhur vallë për të vëzhguar, për të shkatërruar dhe për të spiunuar vendin?".
4 Atëherë Hanuni mori shërbëtorët e Davidit, i detyroi të rruhen dhe të presin rrobat për gjysmë deri në mollaqet, pastaj i la të shkonin.
5 Ndërkaq disa shkuan të njoftojnë Davidin për atë që u kishte ndodhur këtyre njerëzve; atëherë Davidi dërgoi njerëz për t’i takuar, sepse ata ishin krejt të turpëruar. Mbreti porositi që t’u thonë atyre: "Qëndroni në Jeriko sa t’ju rritet mjekra, pastaj do të ktheheni".
6 Kur bijtë e Amonit e kuptuan se kishin shkaktuar urrejtjen e Davidit, Hanuni dhe Amonitët dërguan një mijë talenta argjendi për të rekrutuar në shërbimin e tyre qerre dhe kalorës nga Mesopotamia, nga Sirët e Maakahut dhe nga Tsobahu.
7 Rekrutuan gjithashtu tridhjetë e dy mijë qerre dhe mbretin e Maakahut me gjithë popullin tij, që fushuan përballë Medebas. Ndërkaq bijtë e Amonit ishin mbledhur nga qytetet e tyre për të marrë pjesë në luftë.
8 Kur Davidi e dëgjoi këtë, dërgoi kundër tyre Joabin dhe tërë ushtrinë e njerëzve trima.
9 Bijtë e Amonit dolën dhe u renditën për betejë në portën e qytetit, ndërsa mbretërit që kishin ardhur në ndihmë të tyre rrinin mënjanë në fushë.
10 Kur Joabi e kuptoi që kishte kundër tij dy fronte beteje, njeri pëpara dhe tjetri prapa, zgjodhi nga njerëzit më të mirë të Izraelit dhe i vendosi në rend beteje kundër Sirëve;
11 pjesën tjetër të popullit e vendosi nën urdhrat e vëllait të tij Abishai; këta u renditën kundër bijve të Amonit;
12 pastaj i tha: "Në rast se Sirët janë më të fortë se unë, ti do të më vish në ndihmë; por në rast se bijtë e Amonit janë më të fortë se ti, atëherë do të vij unë të të ndihmoj.
13 Tregohu trim dhe të jemi të fortë për popullin tonë dhe për qytetet e Perëndisë tonë; dhe Zoti të bëjë atë që i pëlqen".
14 Pastaj Joabi me njerëzit që kishte me vete shkoi përpara për t’u ndeshur me Sirët; por këta ikën para tij.
15 Kur bijtë e Amonit panë që Sirët kishin ikur, edhe ata ua mbathën para Abishait, vëllait të Joabit, dhe u kthyen në qytet. Atëherë Joabi u kthye në Jeruzalem.
16 Sirët, duke qenë se ishin mundur nga Izraeli, dërguan lajmëtarë dhe prunë Sirët që ishin matanë lumit. Në krye të tyre ishte Shofaku, komandanti i ushtrisë të Hadarezerit.
17 Kur Davidi u njoftua për këtë gjë, mblodhi tërë Izraelin, kaloi Jordanin, marshoi kundër tyre dhe u vendos në rend beteje kundër tyre. Sapo Davidi u rreshtua në rend beteje kundër Sirëve, këta e filluan menjëherë betejën.
18 Por Sirët ua mbathën para Izraelit; dhe Davidi vrau shtatë mijë kalorës dhe dyzet mijë këmbësorë Sirë; vrau gjithashtu Shofakun, komandantin e ushtrisë.
19 Kur shërbëtorët e Hadarezerit panë se ishin mundur nga Izraeli, bënë paqe me Davidin dhe iu nënshtruan atij. Kështu Sirët nuk deshën më t’u vinin në ndihmë bijve të Amonit.

David Defeats the Ammonites(A)
19 In the course of time, Nahash king of the Ammonites(B) died, and his son succeeded him as king. 2 David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father.
When David’s envoys came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him, 3 the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Haven’t his envoys come to you only to explore and spy out(C) the country and overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved them, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When someone came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them, 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(D) to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents[a] of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim,[b] Aram Maakah and Zobah.(E) 7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and charioteers, as well as the king of Maakah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba,(F) while the Ammonites were mustered from their towns and moved out for battle.
8 On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men. 9 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance to their city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.
10 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. 11 He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai(G) his brother, and they were deployed against the Ammonites. 12 Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to rescue me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will rescue you. 13 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”
14 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 15 When the Ammonites realized that the Arameans were fleeing, they too fled before his brother Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
16 After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they sent messengers and had Arameans brought from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
17 When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel(H) and crossed the Jordan; he advanced against them and formed his battle lines opposite them. David formed his lines to meet the Arameans in battle, and they fought against him. 18 But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak the commander of their army.
19 When the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him.
So the Arameans were not willing to help the Ammonites anymore.

King James Version
19 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
