1 Después de esto, aconteció que murió el rey de los amonitas, y en su lugar reinó su hijo Hanún.
1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Entonces David pensó: Mostraré bondad a Hanún, hijo de Nahas, así como su padre me mostró bondad. Así que David envió algunos de sus esclavos a consolarlo por el padre de ellos. Pero cuando los esclavos de David llegaron a la tierra de los amonitas,
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 de ellos dijeron a su ʼadón Hanún: ¿Crees que David honra a tu padre porque te envió consoladores? ¿David no te envió a sus esclavos para reconocer la ciudad, espiarla y conquistarla?
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 esclavos de David, les rasuró la mitad de la barba, les cortó sus ropas hasta la mitad de las nalgas y los despidió.
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 se informó esto a David, él envió a encontrarlos, porque ellos estaban muy avergonzados. Y el rey mandó a decirles: Permanezcan en Jericó hasta que crezca su barba, y entonces 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 Entonces cuando los hijos de Amón vieron que ellos eran detestables a David, contrataron a los sirios de Bet-rehob y de Soba, 20.000 infantes, del rey de Maaca 1.000 hombres y de Is-tob 12.000 hombres.
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 de hombres valientes.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Los amonitas salieron a presentar batalla en la entrada de la puerta, mientras que los sirios de Soba, Rehob, Is-tob y Maaca estaban 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 Al ver Joab que la batalla se le presentaba por el frente y por la retaguardia, escogió entre los mejores hombres de Israel y los puso en orden de batalla contra los sirios.
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 Entregó el resto del pueblo en mano de su hermano Abisai, quien lo alineó en orden de batalla para enfrentar a los amonitas.
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 sirios son más fuertes que yo, tú me ayudarás, y si los amonitas son más fuertes que tú, te daré ayuda.
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 ¡Esfuérzate y esforcémonos por nuestro pueblo y las ciudades de nuestro ʼElohim, y que Yavé 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 el pueblo que estaba con él se acercaron para pelear contra los sirios, y ellos huyeron de 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 Al ver los amonitas que los sirios huyeron, ellos también huyeron de delante de Abisai y entraron en la ciudad. Joab regresó de combatir contra los hijos de Amón y fue 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 Pero los sirios, al ver que fueron derrotados por Israel, se volvieron a reunir.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Hadad-ezer mandó traer a los sirios que estaban al otro lado del Río y llegaron a Helam con Sobac, jefe del ejército de Hadad-ezer.
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 Se le informó a David, quien reunió a todo Israel, cruzó el Jordán y llegó a Helam. Los sirios se alinearon en orden de batalla para enfrentar a David y lucharon contra él.
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 aquellos huyeron de delante de Israel. David mató a 700 hombres de los carruajes y 40.000 jinetes de los sirios e hirió a Sobac, jefe del ejército de ellos, quien 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 eran tributarios de Hadad-ezer, vieron que fueron derrotados por Israel, hicieron la paz con Israel y le sirvieron. Y los sirios tuvieron temor de ayudar más 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.
