And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 1Sa 11:1-31Ch 19:1-19Jdg 10:7-9Jdg 11:12-28 Then 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. 1Sa 11:1Deu 23:3-6Neh 13:1-31Sa 22:3-4Neh 4:3-7 And 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? 1 Gen 42:16Gen 42:91Co 13:51Co 13:7 Wherefore 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. Isa 20:4Jer 41:51Ch 19:3-4Isa 15:2Lev 19:27Psa 109:4-5Isa 47:2-3 When 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. 1Ch 19:51Ki 16:34Jos 6:24-26
¶ And 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. 2 2Sa 8:32Sa 8:5Gen 34:301Sa 27:12Jdg 11:3Jdg 11:5Jdg 18:281Ch 19:6-7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 1Ch 19:8-192Sa 23:8-39 And 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. 2Sa 10:61Ch 19:7Jdg 1:31Jos 19:28Num 13:21 When 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: Jdg 20:42-43Jos 8:21-22 And 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. And 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. Gal 6:21Ch 19:9-12Luk 22:32Neh 4:20Php 1:27-28Rom 15:1 Be 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. 1Co 16:13Deu 31:61Sa 3:18Heb 13:6Neh 4:141Sa 4:9Jdg 10:151Ch 19:13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. 1Ki 20:13-211Ch 19:14-151Ki 20:28-302Ch 13:5-16 And 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.
¶ And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. Isa 8:9-10Mic 4:11-12Psa 2:1Rev 19:19-21Zec 14:2-3 And 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. 3 4 1Ch 19:162Sa 8:3-81Ch 18:31Ch 18:5 And 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. 1Ch 19:17 And 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. 5 1Ch 19:182Sa 8:4Jdg 4:2Jdg 4:22Jdg 5:26Psa 18:38Psa 46:11 And 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. 2Sa 8:6Rev 18:101Ch 19:191Ki 20:1Dan 2:37Gen 14:1-5Isa 26:11Jdg 1:7
