Chapter 10 And it came to pass after this,
that the king of the children of Ammon

00:05.220 --> 00:08.180
died, and Hanan his son reigned in his
stead.

00:08.800 --> 00:14.140
Then said David, I will show kindness unto
Hanan the son of Nahash, as his father

00:14.140 --> 00:15.460
showed kindness unto me.

00:15.660 --> 00:18.800
And David sent to comfort him by the hand
of his servants for his father.

00:19.440 --> 00:21.980
And David's servants came into the land of
the children of Ammon.

00:22.340 --> 00:26.200
And the princes of the children of Ammon
said unto Hanan their lord, Thinkest thou

00:26.200 --> 00:30.700
that David doth honor thy father,
that he hath sent comforters unto thee?

00:31.320 --> 00:35.760
Hath not David rather sent his servants
unto thee to search the city, to spy it

00:35.760 --> 00:37.240
out, and to overthrow it?

00:37.480 --> 00:41.240
Wherefore Hanan took David's servants,
and shaved off the one half of their

00:41.240 --> 00:44.660
beards, and cut off their garments in the
middle, even to their buttocks,

00:44.780 --> 00:45.940
and sent them away.

00:46.640 --> 00:50.860
When they told it unto David, he sent to
meet them, because the men were greatly

00:50.860 --> 00:51.380
ashamed.

00:51.820 --> 00:57.280
And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until
your beard to be grown, and then return.

00:57.620 --> 01:01.780
And when the children of Ammon saw that
they stank before David, the children of

01:01.780 --> 01:06.660
Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of
Bethrehab, and the Syrians of Zobah twenty

01:06.660 --> 01:11.940
thousand footmen, and of King Maacah a
thousand men, and of Ishtab twelve

01:11.940 --> 01:12.640
thousand men.

01:13.220 --> 01:17.460
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab,
and all the host of the mighty men.

01:17.980 --> 01:21.240
And the children of Ammon came out,
and put the battle in array at the

01:21.240 --> 01:22.200
entering in of the gate.

01:22.200 --> 01:27.340
And the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob,
and Ishtab, and Maacah were by themselves

01:27.340 --> 01:28.020
in the field.

01:28.900 --> 01:32.240
When Joab saw that the front of the battle
was against him before and behind,

01:32.760 --> 01:36.920
he chose of all the choice men of Israel,
and put them in array against the Syrians.

01:37.260 --> 01:40.760
And the rest of the people he delivered
into the hand of Abishai his brother,

01:41.260 --> 01:43.800
that he might put them in array against
the children of Ammon.

01:44.220 --> 01:49.380
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong
for me, then thou shalt help me.

01:49.380 --> 01:54.680
But if the children of Ammon be too strong
for thee, then I will come and help thee.

01:55.080 --> 02:00.580
Be of good courage, and let us play the
men for our people, and for the cities of

02:00.580 --> 02:01.200
our God.

02:01.560 --> 02:04.060
And the Lord do that which seemeth him
good.

02:04.380 --> 02:08.420
And Joab drew nigh, and the people that
were with him, unto the battle against the

02:08.420 --> 02:10.500
Syrians, and they fled before him.

02:11.020 --> 02:15.500
And when the children of Ammon saw that
the Syrians were fled, then fled they also

02:15.500 --> 02:17.860
before Abishai, and entered into the city.

02:18.400 --> 02:22.240
So Joab returned from the children of
Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

02:23.100 --> 02:26.300
And when the Syrians saw that they were
smitten before Israel, they gathered

02:26.300 --> 02:27.100
themselves together.

02:27.600 --> 02:30.980
And Haderizer sent, and brought out the
Syrians that were beyond the river.

02:31.360 --> 02:32.440
And they came to Helam.

02:32.860 --> 02:36.100
And Shobak, the captain of the host of
Haderizer, went before them.

02:36.720 --> 02:40.520
And when it was told David, he gathered
all Israel together, and passed over

02:40.520 --> 02:42.060
Jordan, and came to Helam.

02:42.560 --> 02:46.040
And the Syrians set themselves in array
against David, and fought with him.

02:46.040 --> 02:51.060
And the Syrians fled before Israel,
and David slew the men of seven hundred

02:51.060 --> 02:55.420
chariots of the Syrians, and forty
thousand horsemen, and smote Shobak,

02:55.500 --> 02:57.320
the captain of their host, who died there.

02:57.880 --> 03:01.380
And when all the kings that were servants
to Haderizer saw that they were smitten

03:01.380 --> 03:05.040
before Israel, they made peace with
Israel, and served them.

03:05.720 --> 03:08.780
So the Syrians feared to help the children
of Ammon any more.
