1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀπέθανε βασιλεὺς υἱῶν Ἀμμών, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀννὼν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
2And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
2καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· ποιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ Ἀννὼν υἱοῦ Ναάς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ παῖδες Δαυὶδ εἰς τὴν γῆν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
3The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
3καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄρχοντες υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν πρὸς Ἀννὼν τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν· μὴ παρὰ τὸ δοξάζειν Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι ἀπέστειλέ σοι παρακαλοῦντας; ἀλλ' οὐχὶ ὅπως ἐρευνήσωσι τὴν πόλιν καὶ κατασκοπήσωσιν αὐτὴν καὶ τοῦ κατασκέψασθαι αὐτὴν ἀπέστειλε Δαυὶδ τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ πρός σε;
4Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
4καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀννὼν τοὺς παῖδας Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξύρησε τοὺς πώγωνας αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπέκοψε τοὺς μανδύας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἡμίσει ἕως τῶν ἰσχίων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτούς.
5When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
5καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἦσαν οἱ ἄνδρες ἠτιμασμένοι σφόδρα· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· καθίσατε ἐν Ἱεριχὼ ἕως τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς πώγωνας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσεσθε.
6And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
6καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμών, ὅτι κατῃσχύνθησαν ὁ λαὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ ἐμισθώσαντο τὴν Συρίαν Βαιθραὰμ καὶ τὴν Συρίαν Σουβά, εἴκοσι χιλιάδας πεζῶν, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Μααχά, χιλίους ἄνδρας, καὶ Ἰστώβ, δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν.
7And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
7καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν, τοὺς δυνατούς.
8And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
8καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ παρετάξαντο πόλεμον παρὰ τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς πύλης Συρίας Σουβὰ καὶ Ροὼβ καὶ Ἰστὼβ καὶ Μααχὰ μόνοι ἐν ἀγρῷ.
9Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
9καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωὰβ ὅτι ἐγενήθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιπρόσωπον τοῦ πολέμου, ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐξεναντίας καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ὄπισθεν, καὶ ἐπελέξατο ἐκ πάντων τῶν νεανιῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας Συρίας.
10And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
10καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
11And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
11καὶ εἶπεν· ἐὰν κραταιωθῇ Συρία ὑπὲρ ἐμέ, καὶ ἔσεσθέ μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ ἐὰν κραταιωθῶσιν υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν ὑπὲρ σέ, καὶ ἐσόμεθα τοῦ σῶσαί σε·
12Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
12ἀνδρίζου καὶ κραταιωθῶμεν ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ περὶ τῶν πόλεων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ Κύριος ποιήσει τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ.
13And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
13καὶ προσῆλθεν Ἰωὰβ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς Συρίαν, καὶ ἔφυγαν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.
14And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
14καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν εἶδαν ὅτι ἔφυγε Συρία, καὶ ἔφυγαν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀβεσσὰ καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν. καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν Ἰωὰβ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν καὶ παρεγένετο εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
15Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
15καὶ εἶδε Συρία ὅτι ἔπταισεν ἔμπροσθεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό.
16And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
16καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἀδρααζὰρ καὶ συνήγαγε τὴν Συρίαν τὴν ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ Χαλαμάκ, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς Αἰλάμ, καὶ Σωβὰκ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Ἀδρααζὰρ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
17And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
17καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ συνήγαγε τὸν πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ παρεγένετο εἰς Αἰλάμ· καὶ παρετάξατο Συρία ἀπέναντι Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν μετ' αὐτοῦ.
18And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
18καὶ ἔφυγε Συρία ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀνεῖλε Δαυὶδ ἐκ τῆς Συρίας ἑπτακόσια ἅρματα καὶ τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδας ἱππέων· καὶ τὸν Σωβὰκ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.
19And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
19καὶ εἶδαν πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ δοῦλοι Ἀδρααζὰρ ὅτι ἔπταισαν ἔμπροσθεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ηὐτομόλησαν μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐφοβήθη Συρία τοῦ σῶσαι ἔτι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών.
