1Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέθανε Ναὰς βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμών, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀνὰν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
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,
2καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ποιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ Ἀνὰν υἱοῦ Ναάς, ὡς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους Δαυὶδ τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἦλθον παῖδες Δαυὶδ εἰς γῆν υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν πρὸς Ἀνὰν τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτόν.
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.
3καὶ εἶπον ἄρχοντες υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν πρὸς Ἀνάν· μὴ δοξάζων Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου ἐναντίον σου ἀπέστειλέ σοι παρακαλοῦντας; οὐχὶ ὅπως ἐξερευνήσωσι τὴν πόλιν καὶ τοῦ κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν γῆν ἦλθον παῖδες αὐτοῦ πρός σε;
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.
4καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀνὰν τοὺς παῖδας Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξύρησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀφεῖλε τῶν μανδυῶν αὐτῶν τὸ ἥμισυ ἕως τῆς ἀναβολῆς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς.
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.
5καὶ ἦλθον ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Δαυὶδ περὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἦσαν ἠτιμωμένοι σφόδρα. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καθίσατε ἐν Ἱεριχὼ ἕως τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς πώγωνας ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνακάμψατε.
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.
6καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν ὅτι ᾐσχύνθη λαὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀνὰν καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν χίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου τοῦ μισθώσασθαι ἑαυτοῖς ἐκ Συρίας Μεσοποταμίας καὶ ἐκ Συρίας Μοοχὰ καὶ παρὰ Σωβὰ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς.
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.
7καὶ ἐμισθώσαντο ἑαυτοῖς δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Μοοχὰ καὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθον καὶ παρενέβαλον κατέναντι Μαιδαβά, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν συνήχθησαν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πολεμῆσαι.
8And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
8καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στρατιὰν τῶν δυνατῶν.
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.
9καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον παρὰ τὸν πυλῶνα τῆς πόλεως, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ ἐλθόντες παρενέβαλον καθ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ.
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,
10καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωὰβ ὅτι γεγόνασιν ἀντιπρόσωποι τοῦ πολεμεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐξόπισθεν, καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἐκ παντὸς νεανίου ἐξ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐναντίον τοῦ Σύρου·
11And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
11καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
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.
12καὶ εἶπεν· ἐὰν κρατήσῃ ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ ὁ Σύρος, καὶ ἔσῃ μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ ἐὰν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν κρατήσωσιν ὑπὲρ σέ, καὶ σώσω σε·
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.
13ἀνδρίζου καὶ ἐνισχύσωμεν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ περὶ τῶν πόλεων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ Κύριος τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ποιήσει.
14So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
14καὶ παρετάξατο Ἰωὰβ καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ κατέναντι Σύρων εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν.
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.
15καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν εἶδον ὅτι ἔφυγον οἱ Σύροι, καὶ ἔφυγον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀβεσσὰ καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰωὰβ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν. καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
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.
16καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Σύρος ὅτι ἐτροπώσατο αὐτὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους, καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν Σύρον ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ Σωφὰ ἀρχιστράτηγος δυνάμεως Ἀδρααζὰρ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
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.
17καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ συνήγαγε τὸν πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ παρετάξατο ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς, καὶ παρατάσσεται Σύρος ἐξεναντίας Δαυὶδ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτόν,
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.
18καὶ ἔφυγε Σύρος ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τοῦ Σύρου ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων καὶ τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδας πεζῶν καὶ τὸν Σωφὰ ἀρχιστράτηγον δυνάμεως ἀπέκτεινε.
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.
19καὶ εἶδον παῖδες Ἀδρααζὰρ ὅτι ἐπταίκασιν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέθεντο μετὰ Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Σύρος τοῦ βοηθῆσαι τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀμμὼν ἔτι.
