1 Chronicles 19:1-19

David Defeats the Ammonites

1In the course of time, Nahash king of the Ammonites died, and his son succeeded him as king. 2David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father.

When David’s envoys came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him, 3the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Haven’t his envoys come to you only to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?” 4So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved them, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away.

5When someone came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.”

6When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents19:6 That is, about 38 tons or about 34 metric tons of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim,19:6 That is, Northwest Mesopotamia Aram Maakah and Zobah. 7They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and charioteers, as well as the king of Maakah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba, while the Ammonites were mustered from their towns and moved out for battle.

8On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men. 9The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance to their city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.

10Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans. 11He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother, and they were deployed against the Ammonites. 12Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to rescue me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will rescue you. 13Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”

14Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him. 15When the Ammonites realized that the Arameans were fleeing, they too fled before his brother Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.

16After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they sent messengers and had Arameans brought from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.

17When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan; he advanced against them and formed his battle lines opposite them. David formed his lines to meet the Arameans in battle, and they fought against him. 18But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak the commander of their army.

19When the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him.

So the Arameans were not willing to help the Ammonites anymore.

A Guerra contra os Amonitas

1Algum tempo depois, Naás, rei dos amonitas, morreu, e seu filho foi o seu sucessor. 2Davi pensou: “Serei bondoso com Hanum, filho de Naás, porque seu pai foi bondoso comigo”. Então Davi enviou uma delegação para transmitir a Hanum seu pesar pela morte do pai.

Mas, quando os mensageiros de Davi chegaram à terra dos amonitas para expressar condolências a Hanum, 3os líderes amonitas lhe disseram: “Achas que Davi está honrando teu pai ao enviar mensageiros para expressar condolências? Não é nada disso! Davi os enviou como espiões para examinar o país e destruí-lo”. 4Então Hanum prendeu os mensageiros de Davi, rapou-lhes a barba, cortou metade de suas roupas até as nádegas, e mandou-os embora.

5Quando Davi soube disso, enviou mensageiros ao encontro deles, pois haviam sido profundamente humilhados, e mandou dizer-lhes: “Fiquem em Jericó até que a barba cresça e, então, voltem para casa”.

6Vendo Hanum e os amonitas que tinham atraído sobre si o ódio de19.6 Hebraico: se transformado em mau cheiro para. Davi, alugaram da Mesopotâmia19.6 Hebraico: Arã Naaraim., de Arã Maaca e de Zobá, carros de guerra e condutores de carros, por trinta e cinco toneladas19.6 Hebraico: 1.000 talentos. Um talento equivalia a 35 quilos. de prata. 7Alugaram trinta e dois mil carros e seus condutores, contrataram o rei de Maaca com suas tropas, o qual veio e acampou perto de Medeba, e os amonitas foram convocados de suas cidades e partiram para a batalha.

8Ao saber disso, Davi ordenou a Joabe que marchasse com todo o exército. 9Os amonitas saíram e se puseram em posição de combate na entrada da cidade, e os reis que tinham vindo posicionaram-se em campo aberto.

10Vendo Joabe que estava cercado pelas linhas de combate, escolheu alguns dos melhores soldados de Israel e posicionou-os contra os arameus. 11Pôs o restante dos homens sob o comando de seu irmão Abisai e posicionou-os contra os amonitas. 12E Joabe disse a Abisai: “Se os arameus forem fortes demais para mim, venha me ajudar; mas, se os amonitas forem fortes demais para você, eu irei ajudá-lo. 13Seja forte e lutemos com bravura pelo nosso povo e pelas cidades do nosso Deus. E que o Senhor faça o que for de sua vontade”.

14Então Joabe e seus soldados avançaram contra os arameus, que fugiram dele. 15Quando os amonitas viram que os arameus estavam fugindo de Joabe, também fugiram de seu irmão Abisai e entraram na cidade. Assim, Joabe voltou para Jerusalém.

16Ao perceberem os arameus que haviam sido derrotados por Israel, enviaram mensageiros para trazer arameus que viviam do outro lado do Eufrates19.16 Hebraico: do Rio., e Sofaque, o comandante do exército de Hadadezer, veio à frente deles.

17Informado disso, Davi reuniu todo o Israel e atravessou o Jordão; avançou contra eles e formou linhas de combate defronte deles. Mas, começado o combate, 18eles fugiram de diante de Israel, e Davi matou sete mil dos seus condutores de carros de guerra e quarenta mil dos seus soldados de infantaria. Também matou Sofaque, o comandante do exército deles.

19Quando os vassalos de Hadadezer viram que tinham sido derrotados por Israel, fizeram a paz com Davi e se sujeitaram a ele. E os arameus não quiseram mais ajudar os amonitas.
