2 Samuel 10

1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun the son of Nahash, are villainously entreated. 6 The Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome by Joab and Abishai. 15 Shobach, making a new supply of the Syrians at Helam, is slain by David.

 10:1 ¶ And it came to passe, x1961 after x310 this, y310 x3651 that the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 died, 4191 z8799 and Hanun 2586 his sonne 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478

 10:2 Then said 559 z8799 Dauid, 1732 I will shewe 6213 z8799 kindnes 2617 vnto x5973 Hanun 2586 the sonne 1121 of Nahash, 5176 as x834 his father 1 shewed 6213 z8804 kindnes 2617 vnto x5973 me. And Dauid 1732 sent 7971 z8799 to comfort 5162 z8763 him by the hand 3027 of his seruants, 5650 for x413 his father: 1 and Dauids 1732 seruants 5650 came 935 z8799 into the land 776 of the children 1121 of Ammon. 5983

 10:3 And the princes 8269 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Hanun 2586 their lord, 113 Thinkest 5869 thou that Dauid 1732 doeth honour 3513 z8764 x853 thy father, 1 that x3588 he hath sent 7971 z8804 comforters 5162 z8764 vnto thee? Hath not x3808 Dauid 1732 rather sent 7971 z8804 x853 his seruants 5650 vnto x413 thee, to 5668 search 2713 z8800 x853 the citie, 5892 and to spie it out, 7270 z8763 and to ouerthrow 2015 z8800 it?

 10:4 Wherefore Hanun 2586 tooke 3947 z8799 Dauids 1732 x853 seruants, 5650 and shaued off 1548 z8762 the x853 one halfe 2677 of their beards, 2206 and cut off 3772 z8799 x853 their garments 4063 in the middle, 2677 [euen] to x5704 their buttocks, 8357 and sent them away. 7971 z8762

 10:5 When they told 5046 z8686 [it] vnto Dauid, 1732 he sent 7971 z8799 to meet 7125 z8800 them, because x3588 the men y582 x376 were x1961 greatly 3966 ashamed: 3637 z8737 and the King 4428 saide, 559 z8799 Tarie 3427 z8798 at Iericho 3405 vntill x5704 your beards 2206 be growen, 6779 z8762 [and] then returne. 7725 z8804

 10:6 ¶ And when the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 they stanke 887 z8738 before Dauid, 1732 the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 sent, 7971 z8799 and hired 7936 z8799 x853 the Syrians 758 of Beth-Rehob, 1050 and the Syrians 758 of Zoba, 6678 twentie 6242 thousand 505 footmen, 7273 and of king 4428 Maacah, 4601 a thousand 505 men, 376 and of Ishtob 382 twelue 6240 8147 thousand 505 men. 376

 10:7 And when Dauid 1732 heard 8085 z8799 of it, he sent 7971 z8799 x853 Ioab, 3097 and all x3605 the hoste 6635 of the mightie men. 1368

 10:12 Be of good courage, 2388 z8798 and let vs play the men, 2388 z8691 for x1157 our people, 5971 and for x1157 the cities 5892 of our God: 430 and the LORD 3068 doe 6213 z8799 that which seemeth 5869 him good. 2896
