1此后， 亚扪 人的王 拿辖 死了，他儿子接续他作王。
1After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
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，
2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
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？」
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
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。
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
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。」
5Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
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，
6When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
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。
7So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8大卫 听见了，就差派 约押 统带勇猛的全军出去。
8When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9亚扪 人出来在城门前摆阵，所来的诸王另在郊野摆阵。
9The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
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；
10Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11其余的兵交与他兄弟 亚比筛 ，对着 亚扪 人摆阵。
11The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
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。
12He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
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。」
13Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to 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。
14So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
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。
15When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
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。
16When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
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。
17David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to 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 。
18The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
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。
19When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
