18:11. And all the vessels of gold, and silver and brass king David
consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken
from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the
sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
18:12. And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of
the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
18:13. And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and
the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.
18:14. So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and
justice among all his people.
18:15. And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the
son of Ahilud recorder.
18:16. And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar,
were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
18:17. And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi,
and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
1 Paralipomenon Chapter 19
The Ammonites abuse David's ambassadors: both they and their
confederates are overthrown.
19:1. Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon
died, and his son reigned in his stead.
19:2. And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for
his father did a favour tome. And David sent messengers to comfort him
upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of
the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
19:3. The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest
perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to
thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee
to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
19:4. Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of
David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and
sent them away.
19:5. And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet
them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at
Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
19:6. And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to
David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of
silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia and out of
Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
19:7. And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of
Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba.
And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their
cities, and came to battle.
19:8. And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of
valiant men:
19:9. And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array
before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid,
stood apart in the field.
19:10. Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him
before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched
against the Syrians,
19:11. And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai
his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
19:12. 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, I will
help thee.
19:13. Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our
people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which
is good in his sight.
