1此後， 亞捫 人的王 拿轄 死了，他兒子接續他作王。
1Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
2大衛 說：「我要照 哈嫩 的父親 拿轄 厚待我的恩典厚待 哈嫩 。」於是 大衛 差遣使者為他喪父安慰他。 大衛 的臣僕到了 亞捫 人的境內見 哈嫩 ，要安慰他，
2And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
3但 亞捫 人的首領對 哈嫩 說：「 大衛 差人來安慰你，你想他是尊敬你父親嗎？他的臣僕來見你不是為詳察窺探、傾覆這地嗎？」
3The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
4哈嫩 便將 大衛 臣僕 的鬍鬚 剃去 一半 ，又割斷他們下半截的衣服，使他們露出下體，打發他們回去。
4Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
5有人將臣僕所遇的事告訴 大衛 ，他就差人去迎接他們，因為他們甚覺羞恥；告訴他們說：「可以住在 耶利哥 ，等到鬍鬚長起再回來。」
5And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
6亞捫 人知道 大衛 憎惡他們， 哈嫩 和 亞捫 人就打發人拿一千他連得銀子，從 美索不達米亞 、 亞蘭 、 瑪迦 、 瑣巴 雇戰車和馬兵，
6And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
7於是雇了三萬二千輛戰車和 瑪迦 王並他的軍兵；他們來安營在 米底巴 前。 亞捫 人也從他們的城裏出來，聚集交戰。
7And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
8大衛 聽見了，就差派 約押 統帶勇猛的全軍出去。
8And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
9亞捫 人出來在城門前擺陣，所來的諸王另在郊野擺陣。
9And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
10約押 看見敵人在他前後擺陣，就從 以色列 軍中挑選精兵，使他們對着 亞蘭 人擺陣；
10Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
11其餘的兵交與他兄弟 亞比篩 ，對着 亞捫 人擺陣。
11And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
12約押 對 亞比篩 說：「 亞蘭 人若強過我，你就來幫助我； 亞捫 人若強過你，我就去幫助你。
12And 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, I will help thee.
13我們都當剛強，為本國的民和上帝的城邑作大丈夫，願耶和華憑他的意旨而行。」
13Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
14於是 約押 和跟隨他的人前進攻打 亞蘭 人； 亞蘭 人在 約押 面前逃跑。
14So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
15亞捫 人見 亞蘭 人逃跑，他們也在 約押 的兄弟 亞比篩 面前逃跑進城。 約押 就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
15And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
16亞蘭 人見自己被 以色列 人打敗，就打發使者將大河那邊的 亞蘭 人調來， 哈大利謝 的將軍 朔法 率領他們。
16But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
17有人告訴 大衛 ，他就聚集 以色列 眾人過 約旦河 ，來到 亞蘭 人那裏，迎着他們擺陣。 大衛 既擺陣攻擊 亞蘭 人， 亞蘭 人就與他打仗。
17And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
18亞蘭 人在 以色列 人面前逃跑。 大衛 殺了 亞蘭 七千輛戰車 的人 ，四萬步兵，又殺了 亞蘭 的將軍 朔法 。
18But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
19屬 哈大利謝 的諸王 見自己被 以色列 人打敗，就與 大衛 和好，歸服他。於是 亞蘭 人不敢再幫助 亞捫 人了。
19And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
