1 Después de esto murió el rey de los hijos de Amón, y su hijo Hanún reinó en su lugar.
1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 David dijo: Mostraré bondad a Hanún, hijo de Nahas, como su padre mostró bondad conmigo. Así que David envió a sus servidores para consolarlo por la muerte de su padre. Cuando los servidores de David llegaron a la tierra de los hijos de Amón,
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 los jefes amonitas dijeron a Hanún, su señor: ¿Crees que David honra a tu padre porque te envió hombres para consolarte? ¿No habrá enviado a sus servidores para explorar la ciudad, espiarla y después destruirla?
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
4 Entonces Hanún tomó a los servidores de David, les afeitó la mitad de la barba, les cortó la ropa a la altura de las nalgas y los dejó ir.
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Cuando David se enteró, envió mensajeros para encontrarlos, porque aquellos hombres estaban profundamente avergonzados. El rey les dijo: Quédense en Jericó hasta que les vuelva a crecer la barba. Después regresen.
5 When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 Cuando los hijos de Amón comprendieron que se habían hecho odiosos para David, contrataron a veinte mil soldados de infantería de los arameos de Bet-rehob y Sobá, a mil hombres del rey de Maaca y a doce mil hombres de Tob.
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Cuando David oyó esto, envió a Joab con todo el ejército y los mejores guerreros.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Los hijos de Amón salieron y formaron sus tropas a la entrada de la ciudad. Los arameos de Sobá y Rehob, junto con los hombres de Tob y Maaca, se colocaron aparte en el campo.
8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
9 Joab vio que tenía fuerzas enemigas delante y detrás de él. Entonces escogió a los mejores hombres de Israel y los puso en formación contra los arameos.
9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
10 Puso al resto del ejército bajo el mando de su hermano Abisai y los formó contra los hijos de Amón.
10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Joab dijo: Si los arameos son demasiado fuertes para mí, ven a ayudarme. Pero si los hijos de Amón son demasiado fuertes para ti, yo iré a ayudarte.
11 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Ten valor. Seamos fuertes por nuestro pueblo y por las ciudades de nuestro Dios. Y que el Señor haga lo que le parezca bien.
12 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”
13 Joab y sus hombres avanzaron para luchar contra los arameos, y ellos huyeron delante de él.
13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
14 Cuando los hijos de Amón vieron que los arameos huían, también ellos huyeron de Abisai y entraron en la ciudad. Entonces Joab dejó de luchar contra los hijos de Amón y regresó a Jerusalén.
14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
15 Cuando los arameos vieron que Israel los había derrotado, volvieron a reunirse.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Hadadezer mandó llamar a los arameos que estaban al otro lado del río. Ellos llegaron a Helam encabezados por Sobac, jefe del ejército de Hadadezer.
16 Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Cuando David recibió la noticia, reunió a todo Israel, cruzó el Jordán y llegó a Helam. Los arameos formaron sus tropas contra David y lo atacaron.
17 David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
18 Pero los arameos huyeron delante de Israel. David mató a setecientos hombres de los carros de guerra arameos y a cuarenta mil soldados de infantería. También hirió a Sobac, jefe de su ejército, y él murió allí.
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
19 Cuando todos los reyes que servían a Hadadezer vieron que Israel los había derrotado, hicieron la paz con Israel y quedaron sometidos a él. Desde entonces los arameos tuvieron miedo de seguir ayudando a los hijos de Amón.
19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
