1 Chronicles 19

The Message Bible MSG

1 Some time after this Nahash king of the Ammonites died and his son succeeded him as king.

2 David said, "I'd like to show some kindness to Hanun son of Nahash - treat him as well and as kindly as his father treated me." So David sent condolences about his father's death.

3 the Ammonite leaders warned Hanun, "Do you for a minute suppose that David is honoring your father by sending you comforters? Don't you know that he's sent these men to snoop around the city and size it up so that he can capture it?"

4 So Hanun seized David's men, shaved them clean, cut off their robes half way up their buttocks, and sent them packing.

5 When this was all reported to David, he sent someone to meet them, for they were seriously humiliated. The king told them, "Stay in Jericho until your beards grow out; only then come back."

6 When it dawned on the Ammonites that as far as David was concerned, they stank to high heaven,

7 they hired, at a cost of a thousand talents of silver (thirty-seven and a half tons!), chariots and horsemen from the Arameans of Naharaim, Maacah, and Zobah - 32,000 chariots and drivers; plus the king of Maacah with his troops who came and set up camp at Medeba; the Ammonites, too, were mobilized from their cities and got ready for battle.

8 When David heard this, he dispatched Joab with his strongest fighters in full force.

9 The Ammonites marched out and spread out in battle formation at the city gate; the kings who had come as allies took up a position in the open fields.

10 When Joab saw that he had two fronts to fight, before and behind, he took his pick of the best of Israel and deployed them to confront the Arameans.

11 The rest of the army he put under the command of Abishai, his brother, and deployed them to deal with the Ammonites.

12 Then he said, "If the Arameans are too much for me, you help me; and if the Ammonites prove too much for you, I'll come and help you.

13 Courage! We'll fight might and main for our people and for the cities of our God. And God will do whatever he sees needs doing!"

14 But when Joab and his soldiers moved in to fight the Arameans, they ran off in full retreat.

15 Then the Ammonites, seeing the Arameans run for dear life, took to their heels and ran from Abishai into the city. So Joab withdrew from the Ammonites and returned to Jerusalem.

16 When the Arameans saw how badly they'd been beaten by Israel, they picked up the pieces and regrouped; they sent for the Arameans who were across the river; Shophach, commander of Hadadezer's army, led them.

17 When all this was reported to David, he mustered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, advanced, and prepared to fight. The Arameans went into battle formation, ready for David, and the fight was on.

18 But the Arameans again scattered before Israel. David killed 7,000 chariot drivers and 40,000 infantry. He also killed Shophach, the army commander.

19 When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites ever again.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 accidit autem ut moreretur Naas rex filiorum Ammon et regnaret filius eius pro eo

2 dixitque David faciam misericordiam cum Hanon filio Naas praestitit enim pater eius mihi gratiam misitque David nuntios ad consolandum eum super morte patris sui qui cum pervenissent in terram filiorum Ammon ut consolarentur Hanon

3 dixerunt principes filiorum Ammon ad Hanon tu forsitan putas quod David honoris causa in patrem tuum miserit qui consolentur te nec animadvertis quod ut explorent et investigent et scrutentur terram tuam venerint ad te servi eius

4 igitur Hanon pueros David decalvavit et rasit et praecidit tunicas eorum a natibus usque ad pedes et dimisit eos

5 qui cum abissent et hoc mandassent David misit in occursum eorum grandem enim contumeliam sustinuerant et praecepit ut manerent in Hiericho donec cresceret barba eorum et tunc reverterentur

6 videntes autem filii Ammon quod iniuriam fecissent David tam Hanon quam reliquus populus miserunt mille talenta argenti ut conducerent sibi de Mesopotamia et de Syria Macha et de Suba currus et equites

7 conduxeruntque triginta duo milia curruum et regem Macha cum populo eius qui cum venissent castrametati sunt e regione Medaba filii quoque Ammon congregati de urbibus suis venerunt ad bellum

8 quod cum audisset David misit Ioab et omnem exercitum virorum fortium

9 egressique filii Ammon direxerunt aciem iuxta portam civitatis reges autem qui ad auxilium venerant separatim in agro steterunt

10 igitur Ioab intellegens bellum et ex adverso et post tergum contra se fieri elegit viros fortissimos de universo Israhel et perrexit contra Syrum

11 reliquam autem partem populi dedit sub manu Abisai fratris sui et perrexerunt contra filios Ammon

12 dixitque si vicerit me Syrus auxilio eris mihi sin autem superaverint te filii Ammon ero tibi in praesidium

13 confortare et agamus viriliter pro populo nostro et pro urbibus Dei nostri Dominus autem quod in conspectu suo bonum est faciet

14 perrexit ergo Ioab et populus qui cum eo erat contra Syrum ad proelium et fugavit eos

15 porro filii Ammon videntes quod fugisset Syrus ipsi quoque fugerunt Abisai fratrem eius et ingressi sunt civitatem reversusque est etiam Ioab in Hierusalem

16 videns autem Syrus quod cecidisset coram Israhel misit nuntios et adduxit Syrum qui erat trans Fluvium Sophach autem princeps militiae Adadezer erat dux eorum

17 quod cum nuntiatum esset David congregavit universum Israhel et transivit Iordanem inruitque in eos et direxit ex adverso aciem illis contra pugnantibus

18 fugit autem Syrus Israhel et interfecit David de Syris septem milia curruum et quadraginta milia peditum et Sophach exercitus principem

19 videntes autem servi Adadezer se ab Israhel esse superatos transfugerunt ad David et servierunt ei noluitque ultra Syria auxilium praebere filiis Ammon
