00:00.000 --> 00:06.680
Chapter 19 Now it came to pass after this
that Nahash the king of the children of

00:06.680 --> 00:09.420
Ammon died, and his son reigned in his
stead.

00:09.880 --> 00:14.340
And David said, I will show kindness unto
Hanun the son of Nahash, because his

00:14.340 --> 00:15.880
father showed kindness to me.

00:16.100 --> 00:18.980
And David sent messengers to comfort him
concerning his father.

00:19.600 --> 00:23.620
So the servants of David came into the
land of the children of Ammon to Hanun,

00:23.960 --> 00:24.660
to comfort him.

00:25.160 --> 00:29.440
But the princes of the children of Ammon
said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David

00:29.440 --> 00:33.640
doth honour thy father, that he hath sent
comforters unto thee?

00:34.160 --> 00:39.620
Are not his servants come unto thee for to
search, and to overthrow, and to spy out

00:39.620 --> 00:40.220
the land?

00:40.780 --> 00:44.880
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants,
and shaved them, and cut off their

00:44.880 --> 00:48.520
garments in the midst, hard by their
buttocks, and sent them away.

00:49.720 --> 00:52.920
Then there went certain, and told David
how the men were served.

00:53.380 --> 00:56.480
And he sent to meet them, for the men were
greatly ashamed.

00:57.160 --> 01:02.680
And the king said, Tear ye a Jericho until
your beards be crowned, and then return.

01:03.100 --> 01:06.560
And when the children of Ammon saw that
they had made themselves odious to David,

01:07.300 --> 01:11.680
Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a
thousand talents of silver to hire them

01:11.680 --> 01:16.880
chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia,
and out of Syriamaica, and out of Zobar.

01:17.560 --> 01:21.400
So they hired thirty and two thousand
chariots, and the king of Maica and his

01:21.400 --> 01:23.960
people, who came and pitched before
Medabah.

01:24.600 --> 01:27.960
And the children of Ammon gathered
themselves together from their cities,

01:28.340 --> 01:29.200
and came to battle.

01:30.180 --> 01:34.200
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab
and all the host of the mighty men.

01:35.160 --> 01:38.680
And the children of Ammon came out,
and put the battle in array before the

01:38.680 --> 01:39.400
gate of the city.

01:40.260 --> 01:43.440
And the kings that were come were by
themselves in the field.

01:44.660 --> 01:48.680
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set
against him before and behind,

01:49.100 --> 01:54.520
he chose out of all the choice of Israel,
and put them in array against the Syrians.

01:55.260 --> 01:59.260
And the rest of the people he delivered
unto the hand of Abishai his brother.

01:59.920 --> 02:03.020
And they set themselves in array against
the children of Ammon.

02:03.340 --> 02:08.240
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong
for me, then thou shalt help me.

02:08.480 --> 02:12.900
But if the children of Ammon be too strong
for thee, then I will help thee.

02:13.360 --> 02:18.080
Be of good courage, and let us behave
ourselves valiantly for our people.

02:18.080 --> 02:22.780
And for the cities of our God,
and let the Lord do that which is good in

02:22.780 --> 02:23.340
his sight.

02:23.720 --> 02:28.040
So Joab and the people that were with him
drew nigh before the Syrians unto the

02:28.040 --> 02:28.320
battle.

02:29.100 --> 02:30.300
And they fled before him.

02:31.220 --> 02:35.600
And when the children of Ammon saw that
the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled

02:35.600 --> 02:38.580
before Abishai his brother, and entered
into the city.

02:39.580 --> 02:41.340
Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

02:42.500 --> 02:45.800
And when the Syrians saw that they were
put to the worse before Israel,

02:45.800 --> 02:49.860
they sent messengers, and drew forth the
Syrians that were beyond the river.

02:50.780 --> 02:54.400
And Shophak the captain of the host of
Hadarizah went before them.

02:55.020 --> 02:59.280
And it was told David, And he gathered all
Israel, and passed over Jordan,

02:59.660 --> 03:02.760
and came upon them, and set the battle in
array against them.

03:03.420 --> 03:07.340
So when David had put the battle in array
against the Syrians, they fought with him.

03:07.840 --> 03:09.780
But the Syrians fled before Israel.

03:10.400 --> 03:14.420
And David slew of the Syrians seven
thousand men which fought in chariots,

03:14.420 --> 03:18.700
and forty thousand footmen, and killed
Shophak the captain of the host.

03:19.620 --> 03:23.000
And when the servants of Hadarizah saw
that they were put to the worse before

03:23.000 --> 03:26.640
Israel, they made peace with David,
and became his servants.

03:27.620 --> 03:30.460
Neither would the Syrians help the
children of Ammon any more.
