1Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.
1此后, 亚扪 人的王 拿辖 死了,他儿子接续他作王。
2And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,
2大卫 说:「我要照 哈嫩 的父亲 拿辖 厚待我的恩典厚待 哈嫩 。」于是 大卫 差遣使者为他丧父安慰他。 大卫 的臣仆到了 亚扪 人的境内见 哈嫩 ,要安慰他,
3the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
3但 亚扪 人的首领对 哈嫩 说:「 大卫 差人来安慰你,你想他是尊敬你父亲吗?他的臣仆来见你不是为详察窥探、倾覆这地吗?」
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
4哈嫩 便将 大卫 臣仆 的胡须 剃去 一半 ,又割断他们下半截的衣服,使他们露出下体,打发他们回去。
5When someone came and told David about his men, he sent messengers to meet them, since the men had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
5有人将臣仆所遇的事告诉 大卫 ,他就差人去迎接他们,因为他们甚觉羞耻;告诉他们说:「可以住在 耶利哥 ,等到胡须长起再回来。」
6When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
6亚扪 人知道 大卫 憎恶他们, 哈嫩 和 亚扪 人就打发人拿一千他连得银子,从 美索不达米亚 、 亚兰 、 玛迦 、 琐巴 雇战车和马兵,
7So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba while the Ammonites came from their cities and marched out for battle.
7于是雇了三万二千辆战车和 玛迦 王并他的军兵;他们来安营在 米底巴 前。 亚扪 人也从他们的城里出来,聚集交战。
8On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
8大卫 听见了,就差派 约押 统带勇猛的全军出去。
9The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance to the city, while the kings who had come stayed by themselves in the open country.
9亚扪 人出来在城门前摆阵,所来的诸王另在郊野摆阵。
10When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
10约押 看见敌人在他前后摆阵,就从 以色列 军中挑选精兵,使他们对着 亚兰 人摆阵;
11And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
11其余的兵交与他兄弟 亚比筛 ,对着 亚扪 人摆阵。
12“If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
12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。
13Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
13我们都当刚强,为本国的民和 神的城邑作大丈夫,愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行。」
14So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
14于是 约押 和跟随他的人前进攻打 亚兰 人; 亚兰 人在 约押 面前逃跑。
15When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Joab’s brother Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
15亚扪 人见 亚兰 人逃跑,他们也在 约押 的兄弟 亚比筛 面前逃跑进城。 约押 就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
16When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
16亚兰 人见自己被 以色列 人打败,就打发使者将大河那边的 亚兰 人调来, 哈大利谢 的将军 朔法 率领他们。
17When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced toward the Arameans, and arrayed for battle against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
17有人告诉 大卫 ,他就聚集 以色列 众人过 约旦河 ,来到 亚兰 人那里,迎着他们摆阵。 大卫 既摆阵攻击 亚兰 人, 亚兰 人就与他打仗。
18But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
18亚兰 人在 以色列 人面前逃跑。 大卫 杀了 亚兰 七千辆战车 的人 ,四万步兵,又杀了 亚兰 的将军 朔法 。
19When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were unwilling to help the Ammonites anymore.
19属 哈大利谢 的诸王 见自己被 以色列 人打败,就与 大卫 和好,归服他。于是 亚兰 人不敢再帮助 亚扪 人了。
