2 Samuel 10
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Davi derrota os amonitas e os siros
10 E aconteceu, depois disso, que morreu o rei dos filhos de Amom, e seu filho Hanum reinou em seu lugar. 2 Então, disse Davi: Usarei de beneficência com Hanum, filho de Naás, como seu pai usou de beneficência comigo. E enviou Davi a consolá-lo, pelo ministério de seus servos, acerca de seu pai; e vieram os servos de Davi à terra dos filhos de Amom. 3 Então, disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Amom a seu senhor, Hanum: Porventura, honra Davi a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? Porventura, não te enviou Davi os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espiá-la, e para transtorná-la? 4 Então, tomou Hanum os servos de Davi, e lhes rapou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade das vestes, até às nádegas, e os despediu. 5 O que fazendo saber a Davi, este enviou a encontrá-los, porque estavam estes homens sobremaneira envergonhados; e disse o rei: Deixai-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba; e então vinde.
6 Vendo, pois, os filhos de Amom que se tinham feito abomináveis para Davi, enviaram os filhos de Amom e alugaram dos siros de Bete-Reobe e dos siros de Zobá vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca, mil homens, e dos homens de Tobe, doze mil homens. 7 O que ouvindo Davi, enviou contra eles a Joabe com todo o exército dos valentes. 8 E saíram os filhos de Amom e ordenaram a batalha à entrada da porta, mas os siros de Zobá e Reobe e os homens de Tobe e Maaca estavam à parte no campo.
9 Vendo, pois, Joabe que estava preparada contra ele a frente da batalha, por diante e por detrás, escolheu dentre todos os escolhidos de Israel e formou-os em linha contra os siros. 10 E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai, seu irmão, o qual o formou em linha contra os filhos de Amom. 11 E disse: Se os siros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em socorro; e, se os filhos de Amom forem mais fortes que tu, irei a socorrer-te. 12 Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e faça o Senhor, então, o que bem parecer aos seus olhos. 13 Então, se achegou Joabe e o povo que estava com ele à peleja contra os siros; e estes fugiram de diante dele. 14 E, vendo os filhos de Amom que os siros fugiam, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai e entraram na cidade; e voltou Joabe dos filhos de Amom e veio para Jerusalém. 15 Vendo, pois, os siros que tinham sido feridos diante de Israel, tornaram a refazer-se. 16 E enviou Hadadezer e fez sair os siros que estavam da outra banda do rio, e vieram a Helã; e Sobaque, chefe do exército de Hadadezer, marchava diante deles. 17 Do que informado Davi, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veio a Helã; e os siros se puseram em ordem contra Davi e pelejaram contra ele. 18 Porém os siros fugiram de diante de Israel, e Davi feriu dentre os siros aos homens de setecentos carros e quarenta mil homens de cavalo; também ao mesmo Sobaque, general do exército, feriu, e morreu ali. 19 Vendo, pois, todos os reis, servos de Hadadezer, que haviam ficado mal diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel e o serviram; e temeram os siros de socorrer mais aos filhos de Amom.
2 Samuel 10
English Standard Version
David Defeats Ammon and Syria
10 (A)After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place. 2 And David said, “I will deal loyally[a] with Hanun the son of (B)Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me.” So David sent by his servants to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the Ammonites. 3 But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it?” 4 So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half the beard of each and cut off their garments in the middle, (C)at their hips, and sent them away. 5 When it was told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return.”
6 When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of (D)Beth-rehob, and (E)the Syrians of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of (F)Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of (G)Tob, 12,000 men. 7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the host of (H)the mighty men. 8 And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and (I)the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and (J)the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
9 When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians. 10 The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites. 11 And he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. 12 (K)Be of good courage, and (L)let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and (M)may the Lord do what seems good to him.” 13 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him. 14 And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
15 But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together. 16 And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond (N)the Euphrates.[b] They came to Helam, with (O)Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head. 17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan and came to Helam. The Syrians arrayed themselves against David and fought with him. 18 And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 700 chariots, and 40,000 horsemen, and wounded (P)Shobach the commander of their army, so that he died there. 19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel (Q)and became subject to them. So the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites anymore.
