2 Samuel 10

1E aconteceu depois disto que morreu o rei dos filhos de Amom, e seu filho Hanum reinou em seu lugar.

1And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

2Então disse Davi: Usarei de benevolência com Hanum, filho de Naás, como seu pai usou de benevolência comigo. E enviou Davi os seus servos para consolá-lo acerca de seu pai; e foram os servos de Davi à terra dos filhos de Amom.

2Then 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.

3Então disseram os príncipes dos filhos de Amom a seu senhor, Hanum: Porventura honra Davi a teu pai aos teus olhos, porque te enviou consoladores? Não te enviou antes Davi os seus servos para reconhecerem esta cidade, e para espiá-la, e para transtorná-la?

3And 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? {Thinkest...: Heb. In thine eyes doth David}

4Então tomou Hanum os servos de Davi, e lhes raspou metade da barba, e lhes cortou metade das vestes, até às nádegas, e os despediu.

4Wherefore 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.

5Quando isso foi informado a Davi, enviou ele mensageiros a encontrá-los, porque estavam aqueles homens sobremaneira envergonhados. Mandou o rei dizer-lhes: Deixai-vos estar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba, e então voltai.

5When 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.

6Vendo, pois, os filhos de Amom que se tinham feito abomináveis para com Davi, enviaram os filhos de Amom, e alugaram dos sírios de Bete-Reobe e dos sírios de Zobá vinte mil homens de pé, e do rei de Maaca mil homens e dos homens de Tobe doze mil homens.

6And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men. {Ishtob: or, the men of Tob}

7E ouvindo Davi, enviou a Joabe e a todo o exército dos valentes.

7And when David heard of {it}, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

8E saíram os filhos de Amom, e ordenaram a batalha à entrada da porta; mas os sírios de Zobá e Reobe, e os homens de Tobe e Maaca estavam à parte no campo.

8And 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 Ishtob, and Maacah, {were} by themselves in the field.

9Vendo, pois, Joabe que a batalha estava preparada contra ele pela frente e pela retaguarda, escolheu dentre todos os homens de Israel, e formou-os em linha contra os sírios.

9When 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:

10E o restante do povo entregou na mão de Abisai seu irmão, o qual formou em linha contra os filhos de Amom.

10And 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.

11E disse: Se os sírios forem mais fortes do que eu, tu me virás em socorro; e, se os filhos de Amom forem mais fortes do que tu, irei a socorrer-te.

11And 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.

12Esforça-te, pois, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades de nosso Deus; e faça o Senhor o que bem parecer aos seus olhos.

12Be 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.

13Então se achegou Joabe, e o povo que estava com ele, à peleja contra os sírios; e fugiram de diante dele.

13And Joab drew nigh, and the people that {were} with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

14E, vendo os filhos de Amom que os sírios fugiam, também eles fugiram de diante de Abisai, e entraram na cidade; e voltou Joabe dos filhos de Amom, e veio para Jerusalém.

14And 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.

15Vendo, pois, os sírios que foram feridos diante de Israel, tornaram a refazer-se.

15And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

16E mandou Hadadezer, e fez sair os sírios que estavam do outro lado do rio, e vieram a Helã; e Sobaque, capitão do exército de Hadadezer, marchava diante deles.

16And 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. {the river: that is, Euphrates} {Shobach: or, Shophach}

17Do que informado Davi, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e foi a Helã; e os sírios se puseram em ordem contra Davi, e pelejaram com ele.

17And 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.

18Porém os sírios fugiram de diante de Israel, e Davi feriu dentre os sírios aos homens de setecentos carros, e quarenta mil homens de cavalaria; feriu também a Sobaque, capitão do exército, que morreu ali.

18And 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. {horsemen: also called, footmen}

19Vendo, pois, todos os reis, servos de Hadadezer, que foram feridos diante de Israel, fizeram paz com Israel, e o serviram; e temeram os sírios de socorrer aos filhos de Amom.

19And 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.
