1 Cuando murió Najás, rey de Amón, su hijo Janún pasó a ser el nuevo rey.
1 After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2 David, entonces, dijo: «Voy a brindarle mi amistad a Janún en reconocimiento de todas las bondades que su padre Najás tuvo conmigo». Así que envió un mensaje de condolencia a Janún por la muerte de su padre. Pero cuando llegaron los embajadores de David, los consejeros amonitas le dijeron al rey Janún: «Su Majestad, no se deje engañar, pues David no ha enviado a estos hombres para darle el pésame por la muerte de su padre. ¡En realidad, los ha enviado para que exploren el país, para después venir y destruirlo!».
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
3 Not in this translation
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”
4 Entonces el rey Janún apresó a los mensajeros que había enviado David. Luego, para avergonzarlos, les hizo cortar la barba, y rasgar sus vestidos a la altura de las nalgas, y así los hizo regresar a su tierra.
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Cuando David recibió la información de lo que había ocurrido, envió un mensaje a sus desconcertados emisarios, diciéndoles que permanecieran en Jericó hasta que sus barbas volvieran a crecer.
5 Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 Cuando el rey Janún y los amonitas se dieron cuenta de su error, enviaron treinta y tres mil kilos de plata para reclutar tropas de mercenarios, carros de combate y caballería de Mesopotamia, de Macá y de Sobá.
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 Contrataron treinta y dos mil carros de combate y consiguieron la colaboración del rey de Macá y su pueblo. Estas fuerzas acamparon en Medeba, lugar en que se unieron a las tropas que el rey Janún había reclutado de sus ciudades.
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Tan pronto como David lo supo, envió a Joab y a los más poderosos guerreros de Israel.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men.
9 Los hombres de Amón salieron y llegaron hasta la entrada de la ciudad de Medeba. Pero los otros reyes que habían venido a apoyar a Janún se quedaron afuera en el campo.
9 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 Una vez que Joab se enteró de que el enemigo se encontraba tanto al frente de él como detrás, eligió a los mejores de sus hombres y los mandó a enfrentarse a los sirios.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 El otro grupo, bajo el comando de su hermano Abisay, marchó en contra de los amonitas.
11 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Joab le dijo a Abisay: «Si ves que los sirios me están derrotando, tú vendrás a ayudarme; y si veo que los amonitas te están derrotando, entonces, yo iré en tu ayuda.
12 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 ¡Ten ánimo! ¡Vamos a pelear con valor para defender a nuestro pueblo y a las ciudades de nuestro Dios! ¡Que el Señor haga lo que considere mejor!».
13 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”
14 En estas condiciones, Joab y sus tropas atacaron a los sirios, y estos dieron la vuelta y huyeron.
14 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 Los amonitas fueron atacados por las tropas de Abisay, y al ver que los sirios estaban retirándose, también ellos huyeron hacia la ciudad. Entonces, Joab regresó a Jerusalén.
15 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Después de su derrota, los sirios solicitaron ayuda a los sirios que vivían al este del río Éufrates. Entonces, Sofac, jefe del rey Hadad Ezer, se puso al frente de ellos.
16 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
17 Al llegar estas noticias a conocimiento de David, movilizó a todo Israel, cruzó el río Jordán y combatió contra los sirios. Pero ellos nuevamente huyeron de David, el cual dio muerte a siete mil hombres de los que estaban a cargo de los carros y a cuarenta mil soldados de infantería. Asimismo dio muerte a Sofac, jefe del ejército sirio.
17 David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 Not in this translation
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army.
19 Las tropas del rey Hadad Ezer se rindieron al rey David y pasaron a ser sus súbditos. Y los sirios nunca más ayudaron a los amonitas en sus batallas.
19 When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more.
