The Ammonites and Syrians Defeated

1 It happened after this that the aking of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.  
2 Then David said, “I will show akindness to Hanun the son of bNahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.  
3 And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, aat their buttocks, and sent them away.  
5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly1 ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”  
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they ahad made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired bthe Syrians of cBeth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of dMaacah one thousand men, and from eIsh-Tob twelve thousand men.  
7 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of athe mighty men.  
8 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And athe Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
