2 Samuel 10
1 It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
factum est autem post haec ut moreretur rex filiorum Ammon et regnaret Anon filius eius pro eo
2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
dixitque David faciam misericordiam cum Anon filio Naas sicut fecit pater eius mecum misericordiam misit ergo David consolans eum per servos suos super patris interitu cum autem venissent servi David in terram filiorum Ammon
3 But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
dixerunt principes filiorum Ammon ad Anon dominum suum putas quod propter honorem patris tui David miserit ad te consolatores et non ideo ut investigaret et exploraret civitatem et everteret eam misit David servos suos ad te
4 So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
tulit itaque Anon servos David rasitque dimidiam partem barbae eorum et praecidit vestes eorum medias usque ad nates et dimisit eos
5 When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
quod cum nuntiatum esset David misit in occursum eorum erant enim viri confusi turpiter valde et mandavit eis David manete Hiericho donec crescat barba vestra et tunc revertimini
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
videntes autem filii Ammon quod iniuriam fecissent David miserunt et conduxerunt mercede Syrum Roob et Syrum Soba viginti milia peditum et a rege Maacha mille viros et ab Histob duodecim milia virorum
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
quod cum audisset David misit Ioab et omnem exercitum bellatorum
8 The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
egressi sunt ergo filii Ammon et direxerunt aciem ante ipsum introitum portae Syrus autem Soba et Roob et Histob et Maacha seorsum erant in campo
9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans:
videns igitur Ioab quod praeparatum esset adversum se proelium et ex adverso et post tergum elegit ex omnibus electis Israhel et instruxit aciem contra Syrum
10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.
reliquam autem partem populi tradidit Abisai fratri suo qui direxit aciem adversum filios Ammon
11 He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
et ait Ioab si praevaluerint adversum me Syri eris mihi in adiutorium si autem filii Ammon praevaluerint adversum te auxiliabor tibi
12 Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."
esto vir fortis et pugnemus pro populo nostro et civitate Dei nostri Dominus autem faciet quod bonum est in conspectu suo
13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.
iniit itaque Ioab et populus qui erat cum eo certamen contra Syros qui statim fugerunt a facie eius
14 When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
filii autem Ammon videntes quod fugissent Syri fugerunt et ipsi a facie Abisai et ingressi sunt civitatem reversusque est Ioab a filiis Ammon et venit Hierusalem
15 When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
videntes igitur Syri quoniam corruissent coram Israhel congregati sunt pariter
16 Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
misitque Adadezer et eduxit Syros qui erant trans Fluvium et adduxit exercitum eorum Sobach autem magister militiae Adadezer erat princeps eorum
17 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him,
quod cum nuntiatum esset David contraxit omnem Israhelem et transivit Iordanem venitque in Helema et direxerunt aciem Syri ex adverso David et pugnaverunt contra eum
18 but fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
fugeruntque Syri a facie Israhel et occidit David de Syris septingentos currus et quadraginta milia equitum et Sobach principem militiae percussit qui statim mortuus est
19 When all the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
videntes autem universi reges qui erant in praesidio Adadezer victos se ab Israhel fecerunt pacem cum Israhel et servierunt eis timueruntque Syri auxilium praebere filiis Ammon
