2 Samuel 10
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1DARNACH begab es sich, dass Nahas, der König der Ammoniter, starb und sein Sohn Hanun König wurde an seiner Statt.
2Da dachte David: Ich will mich freundlich zeigen gegen Hanun, den Sohn des Nahas, wie sein Vater sich gegen mich freundlich gezeigt hat. So sandte denn David hin und liess ihm durch seine Leute sein Beileid aussprechen wegen seines Vaters. Als nun die Leute Davids ins Land der Ammoniter kamen,
3sprachen die Fürsten der Ammoniter zu ihrem Herrn Hanun: Meinst du etwa, David wolle deinen Vater ehren, indem er Leute zu dir sendet, dir sein Beileid auszusprechen? Sendet er nicht vielmehr darum seine Leute zu dir, um die Stadt zu erforschen, um sie auszukundschaften und dann zu zerstören?
4Da liess Hanun die Leute Davids greifen, ihnen den Bart zur Hälfte abscheren und die Kleider zur Hälfte, bis an das Gesäss, wegschneiden, und schickte sie dann fort.
5Als dies David gemeldet wurde, sandte er ihnen entgegen - denn die Männer waren schwer beschimpft -, und der König liess ihnen sagen: Bleibt in Jericho, bis euch der Bart gewachsen ist; dann kommt wieder heim.
6Als aber die Ammoniter sahen, dass sie David verhasst geworden waren, sandten sie hin und warben die Syrer von Beth-Rehob und die Syrer von Zoba an, 20 000 Mann Fussvolk, und den König von Maacha mit tausend Mann und die Leute von Tob, zwölftausend Mann.
7Als David davon hörte, sandte er Joab mit dem ganzen Heere und den Helden.
8Die Ammoniter aber rückten aus und stellten sich in Schlachtordnung am Eingang des Tores, während die Syrer von Zoba und Rehob und die Männer von Tob und Maacha gesondert im freien Felde standen.
9Als nun Joab sah, dass der Angriff von vorn und hinten gegen ihn gerichtet war, traf er eine Auswahl unter allen Auserlesenen in Israel und stellte sich den Syrern entgegen.
10Das übrige Volk aber übergab er seinem Bruder Abisai und stellte ihn den Ammonitern entgegen
11und sprach: Wenn die Syrer stärker sind als ich, so komm mir zu Hilfe; wenn aber die Ammoniter stärker sind als du, so will ich dir zu Hilfe kommen.
12Sei tapfer und lass uns tapfer eintreten für unser Volk und für die Städte unsres Gottes! Der Herr aber tue, was ihm wohlgefällt!
13So rückte denn Joab mit dem Volk, das bei ihm war, zum Kampfe wider die Syrer vor, und sie flohen vor ihm.
14Sowie die Ammoniter die Syrer fliehen sahen, flohen auch sie vor Abisai und zogen sich in die Stadt zurück. Da liess Joab von den Ammonitern ab und kehrte nach Jerusalem zurück.
15Als nun die Syrer sahen, dass sie von Israel geschlagen worden waren, sammelten sie sich wieder.
16Und Hadad-Eser sandte hin und liess die Syrer jenseits des Euphrat ausrücken, und sie kamen unter Sobach, dem Feldhauptmann Hadad-Esers, nach Helam.
17Als David dies gemeldet wurde, sammelte er ganz Israel, zog über den Jordan und kam nach Helam; und die Syrer stellten sich David entgegen und kämpften mit ihm.
18Aber die Syrer flohen vor Israel, und David tötete den Syrern (die Bemannung von) siebenhundert Streitwagen sowie 40 000 Mann Fussvolk; auch Sobach, ihren Feldhauptmann, verwundete er, dass er dort starb.
19Als sich nun alle die Könige, die Hadad-Eser untertan waren, von Israel geschlagen sahen, machten sie Frieden mit Israel und unterwarfen sich. Und die Syrer fürchteten sich, den Ammonitern noch fernerhin zu helfen.
Reina-Valera 1909
1DESPUÉS de esto aconteció, que murió el rey de los hijos de Ammón: y reinó en lugar suyo Hanún su hijo.
2Y dijo David: Yo haré misericordia con Hanún hijo de Naas, como su padre la hizo conmigo. Y envió David sus siervos á consolarlo por su padre. Mas llegados los siervos de David á la tierra de los hijos de Ammón,
3Los príncipes de los hijos de Ammón dijeron á Hanún su señor: ¿Te parece que por honrar David á tu padre te ha enviado consoladores? ¿no ha enviado David sus siervos á ti por reconocer é inspeccionar la ciudad, para destruirla?
4Entonces Hanún tomó los siervos de David, y rapóles la mitad de la barba, y cortóles los vestidos por la mitad hasta las nalgas, y despachólos.
5Lo cual como fué hecho saber á David, envió á encontrarles, porque ellos estaban en extremo avergonzados; y el rey hizo decirles: Estaos en Jericó hasta que os vuelva á nacer la barba, y entonces regresaréis.
6Y viendo los hijos de Ammón que se habían hecho odiosos á David, enviaron los hijos de Ammón y tomaron á sueldo á los Siros de la casa de Rehob, y á los Siros de Soba, veinte mil hombres de á pie: y del rey de Maaca mil hombres, y de Is-tob doce mil hombres.
7Lo cual como oyó David, envió á Joab con todo el ejército de los valientes.
8Y saliendo los hijos de Ammón, ordenaron sus escuadrones á la entrada de la puerta: mas los Siros de Soba, y de Rehob, y de Is-tob, y de Maaca, estaban de por sí en el campo.
9Viendo pues Joab que había escuadrones delante y detrás de él, entresacó de todos los escogidos de Israel, y púsose en orden contra los Siros.
10Entregó luego lo que quedó del pueblo en mano de Abisai su hermano, y púsolo en orden para encontrar á los Ammonitas.
11Y dijo: Si los Siros me fueren superiores, tú me ayudarás; y si los hijos de Ammón pudieren más que tú, yo te daré ayuda.
12Esfuérzate, y esforcémonos por nuestro pueblo, y por las ciudades de nuestro Dios: y haga Jehová lo que bien le pareciere.
13Y acercóse Joab, y el pueblo que con él estaba, para pelear con los Siros; mas ellos huyeron delante de él.
14Entonces los hijos de Ammón, viendo que los Siros habían huído, huyeron también ellos delante de Abisai, y entráronse en la ciudad. Y volvió Joab de los hijos de Ammón, y vínose á Jerusalem.
15Mas viendo los Siros que habían caído delante de Israel, tornáronse á juntar.
16Y envió Hadad-ezer, y sacó los Siros que estaban de la otra parte del río, los cuales vinieron á Helam, llevando por jefe á Sobach general del ejército de Hadad-ezer.
17Y como fué dado aviso á David, juntó á todo Israel, y pasando el Jordán vino á Helam: y los Siros se pusieron en orden contra David, y pelearon con él.
18Mas los Siros huyeron delante de Israel: é hirió David de los Siros la gente de setecientos carros, y cuarenta mil hombres de á caballo: hirió también á Sobach general del ejército, y murió allí.
19Viendo pues todos los reyes que asistían á Hadad-ezer, como habían ellos sido derrotados delante de Israel, hicieron paz con Israel, y sirviéronle; y de allí adelante temieron los Siros de socorrer á los hijos de Ammón.
King James Version
1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
7And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11And 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, then I will come and help thee.
12Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
13And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
19And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
World English Bible
1After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
10The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
13So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
15When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
18The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
19When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
