1 Crônicas 19 - Bíblia Online

Depois disto morreu Naás, rei dos filhos de Amom, e reinou seu filho em seu lugar. 
Disse Davi: Usarei de beneficência para com Hanum, filho de Naás, porque seu pai usou de beneficência para comigo. Davi enviou mensageiros para o consolarem acerca de seu pai. Os servos de Davi foram ter com Hanum à terra dos filhos de Amom para o consolarem. 
Mas os príncipes dos filhos de Amom disseram a Hanum: Porventura pensas que Davi, por honrar a memória de teu pai, te enviou homens que te consolassem? não vieram ter contigo os seus servos a esquadrinhar, a transtornar e a espiar a terra? 
Hanum, pois, tomou os servos de Davi, os barbeou e lhes cortou os vestidos pelo meio, até as nádegas, e os despediu. 
Então foram alguns e contaram a Davi como foram tratados esses homens. Ele mandou mensageiros ao encontro deles (pois os homens estavam sobremaneira envergonhados). Disse o rei: Deixai-vos ficar em Jericó até vos crescer a barba e então voltai. 
Vendo os filhos de Amom que tinham ofendido grandemente a Davi, enviou Hanum, e os filhos de Amom, mil talentos de prata para alugarem carros e cavaleiros de Mesopotâmia, de Arã-Maaca e de Zobá. 
Alugaram trinta e dois mil carros, e o rei de Maaca e seu povo, os quais vieram e se acamparam defronte de Medeba. Os filhos de Amom, tendo-se ajuntado das suas cidades, vieram para a guerra. 
O que tenho Davi ouvido, enviou a Joabe e a todo o exército dos homens valentes. 
Tendo saído os filhos de Amom, ordenaram a batalha junto da porta da cidade; e os reis que eram vindos estavam à parte no campo. 
Ora, quando Joabe viu que a batalha lhe estava ordenada pela frente e pela retaguarda, escolheu dentre os melhores homens de Israel, e os pôs em ordem contra os siros. 
Entregou o resto do povo a seu irmão Abisai, e puseram-se em ordem de batalha contra os filhos de Amom. 
Disse: Se os siros me vencerem, tu virás socorrer-me; mas se os filhos de Amom te vencerem, eu virei em teu socorro. 
Tem bom ânimo, e pelejemos varonilmente pelo nosso povo e pelas cidades do nosso Deus: faça Jeová o que lhe parecer bem. 
Marchou Joabe, e o povo que estava com ele, à batalha contra os siros, que fugiram de diante dele. 
Vendo os filhos de Amom que os siros tinham fugido, fugiram eles também de diante de Abisai, irmão de Joabe, e entraram na cidade. Então voltou Joabe para Jerusalém. 
Vendo-se os siros derrotados diante de Israel, enviaram mensageiros e fizeram vir os siros que viviam da banda dalém do Rio, e tinham por comandante Sofaque, capitão do exército de Hadadezer. 
Avisado disto, Davi ajuntou a todo o Israel, passou o Jordão, marchou sobre eles e ordenou contra eles a batalha. Havendo Davi ordenado a batalha contra os siros, pelejaram estes contra ele. 
Os siros fugiram de diante de Israel; e dentre os siros matou Davi os homens de sete mil carros, e quarenta mil homens de pé, também matou a Sofaque, capitão do exército. 
Vendo os servos de Hadadezer que eram derrotados diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Davi, e o serviram. Os siros não quiseram mais socorrer os filhos de Amom. 

Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place. 
And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort. 
But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it? 
So Hanun took David's servants, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, sent them away. 
Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back. 
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah. 
So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight. 
And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men. 
So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field. 
Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans; 
And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head. 
And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help. 
Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him. 
So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him. 
And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem. 
And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head. 
And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started. 
And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the army. 
And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.
