1
Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέθανε Ναὰς βασιλεῦς υἱῶν Ἀμμών, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀνὰν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
2
And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ, Ποιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ Ἀνὰν υἱοῦ Ναὰς, ὡς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀγγέλοους ἀγγέλους Δαυὶδ τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἦλθον παῖδες Δαυὶδ εἰς γῆν νἱῶν Αμμὼν πρὸς Ἀνὰν τοῦ παρακαλέσαι αὐτόν.
3
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Καὶ εἶπον ἄρχοντες υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν πρὸς Ἀνάν, Μὴ δοξάζων Δαυὶδ τὸν πατέρα σου ἐναντίον σου ἀπέστειλέ σοι παρακαλοῦντας; οὐχ ὅπως ἐξερενήσωσι τὴν πόλιν, καὶ τοῦ κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν γῆν, ἦλθον παῖδες αὐτοῦ πρὸς σέ;
4
Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἁνὰν τοὺς παῖδας Ααυὶδ, καὶ ἐξύρησεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀφεῖλε τῶν μανδυῶν αὐτῶν τὸ ἥμισυ ἕως τῆς ἀναβολῆς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτούς.
5
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Καὶ ἦλθον ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Δαυὶδ περὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἦσαν ἠτιμωμένοι σφόδρα· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, Καθίσατε ἐν Ἱερειχὼ ἕως τοῦ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς πώγωνας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀνακάμψατε.
6
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria–maachah, and out of Zobah.
Καὶ εἶδον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν ὅτι ἠπχὺνθη λαὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἁνὰν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν χίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου τοῦ μισθώσασθαι ἑαυτοῖς ἐκ Συρίας Μεσοποταμίας καὶ ἐκ Συρίας Μααχὰ καὶ παρὰ Σωβὰλ ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς.
7
So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
καὶ ἐμισθώσαντο ἑαυτοῖς δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα Μααχὰ καὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἦλθον καὶ παρενέβαλον κατέναντι Μηδαβά· καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν συνήχθησαν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ πολεμῆσαι.
8
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
Καὶ ἤκουσεν Δαυίδ, καὶ απέστειλε τὸν Ἰωὰβ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στρατίαν τῶν δυνατῶν.
9
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν, καὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον παρὰ τὸν πυλῶνα τῆς πόλεως· καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ ἐλθόντες παρενέβαλον καθʼ ἑαυτοὺς ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ·
10
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
καὶ εἶδεν Ἰωὰβ ὅτι γεγόνασιν ἀντιπρόσωποι τοῦ πολεμεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐξόπισθε, καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἐκ παντὸς νεανίου ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐναντίον τοῦ Σύρου.
11
And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐξεναντίας υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
12
And 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, then I will help thee.
καὶ εἶπεν, Ἐὰν κρατήσῃ ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ Σύρος, καὶ ἔσῃ μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν· καὶ ἐὰν υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν κρατήσωσιν ὑπὲρ σέ, καὶ σώσω σε.
13
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight.
καὶ Κύριος τὸ ἀγαθὸν ποιήσει.
14
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
Καὶ παρετάξατο Ἰωὰβ καὶ ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ κατέναντι Σύρων εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
15
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν εἶδον ὅτι ἔφυγον Σύροι, καὶ ἔφυγον καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰωὰβ καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν πόλιν· καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰωὰβ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
16
And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
Καὶ εἶδεν Σύρος ὅτι ἐτροπώσατο αὐτὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ἀγγέλους· καὶ ἐξήγαγον τὸν Σύρον ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ Σωφὰρ ἀρχιστράτηγος δυνάμεως Ἁδραάζαρ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
17
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon 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.
καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Δαυείδ, καὶ συνήγαγεν τὸν πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς καὶ παρετάξατο ἐπʼ αὐτούς. καὶ παρατάσσεται Σύρος ἐξ ἐναντίας Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτόν.
18
But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
καὶ ἔφυγεν Σύρος ἀπὸ προσώπου Δαυείδ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν Δαυεὶδ ἀπὸ τοῦ Σύρου ἐπτὰ χιλιάδας ἁρμάτων καὶ τεσσεράκοντα χιλιάδας πεζῶν, καὶ τὸν Σαφὰθ ἀρχιστράτηγον δυνάμεως ἀπέκτεινεν.
19
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
καὶ εἶδον παῖδες Ἁδραάζαρ ὅτι ἐπταίκασιν ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διέθεντο μετὰ Δαυεὶδ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτῷ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν Σύρος τοῦ βοηθῆσαι Ἀμμὼν ἔτι.
