Davi kov yeej cov Asmoo thiab cov Alas
(2Xmy. 10:1-19)
6Thaum cov Asmoo paub tias lawv ua rau Davi ntxub lawv lawm, Hanu thiab cov Asmoo txawm xa ib txhiab tala nyiaj⚓ mus ntiav cov tsheb ua rog thiab cov tub rog caij nees ntawm Alasnahala‑i⚓ tebchaws thiab ntawm lub moos Alama‑akha thiab lub moos Xaunpa.
7Lawv ntiav cov tsheb ua rog peb vam ob txhiab lub thiab ntiav tus vajntxwv hauv lub moos Ma‑akha thiab nws cov tub rog, mas lawv tuaj ua yeej ze rau ntawm lub moos Medenpa. Thiab cov Asmoo txhij tub rog ntawm lawv tej moos tuaj ua ke es tuaj ua rog.
8Thaum Davi hnov tej no lawd nws txawm txib Yau‑a thiab cov tub rog siab tuab huvsi mus.
9Cov Asmoo kuj tawm tuaj npaj tub rog rau ntawm txojkev uas nkag rau hauv lub moos, thiab cov vajntxwv uas tuaj mas lawv nyob dua ib cag tom hav nroj.
10Thaum Yau‑a pom tias luag npaj tub rog rau tom nws hauv ntej thiab npaj tub rog rau tom nws qub qab, nws txawm xaiv pab tub rog Yixayee uas txawj tshaj plaws qee leej thiab tso lawv mus tiv cov Alas.
11Dua li cov nws muab cob rau nws tus kwv Anpisai kav mas cov no npaj mus tiv cov Asmoo.
12Yau‑a hais tias, “Yog cov Alas muaj zog heev dhau kuv, koj cia li tuaj pab kuv, hos yog cov Asmoo muaj zog heev dhau koj mas kuv yuav tuaj pab koj.
13Cia li ua siab tuab, peb cia li ua siab loj yam li txivneej yawg pab peb haiv neeg thiab pab peb tus Vajtswv tej moos. Thov Yawmsaub ua raws li nws pom zoo.”
14Ua li ntawd mas Yau‑a thiab cov tub rog uas nrog nws thiaj li txeem mus ze ua rog rau cov Alas, mas cov Alas thiaj khiav thim zuj zus tom nws hauv ntej.
15Thaum cov Asmoo pom cov Alas khiav lawm ces lawv txawm khiav ntawm Yau‑a tus kwv Anpisai hauv ntej ib yam nkaus thiab nkag mus rau hauv lub moos. Ces Yau‑a txawm rov qab los rau Yeluxalees.
16Thaum cov Alas pom tias lawv swb cov Yixayee lawm lawv txawm txib neeg mus coj cov neeg Alas uas nyob sab dej Yufeti hnub tuaj tawm tuaj. Hadadexaw tus thawj rog Saufa coj lawv kev.
17Thaum muaj neeg hais rau Davi paub mas nws sau zog cov Yixayee sawvdaws tuaj ua ke hla tus dej Yaladee mus cuag lawv thiab npaj tub rog tiv lawv. Thaum Davi npaj tub rog tiv cov Alas mas lawv kuj ua rog rau nws.
18Cov Alas kuj thim khiav cov Yixayee mas Davi tua tau Alas cov tub rog hauv tsheb ua rog tuag xya txhiab leej thiab tua tau cov tub rog mus kotaw tuag plaub vam leej thiab tua tau lawv tus thawj rog Saufa tuag thiab.
19Mas thaum Hadadexaw cov tub teg tub taws pom tias lawv swb cov Yixayee lawm lawv kuj nrog Davi sib raug zoo thiab zwm rau nws. Vim li no cov Alas thiaj tsis kam pab cov Asmoo dua li lawm.

The Ammonites and Syrians Defeated
1It⚓ happened after this that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2Then 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. And David’s servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.
3And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?”
4Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their ⚓buttocks, and sent them away.
5Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maacah, ⚓and from Zobah.
7So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
8Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
9Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array before the gate of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s best and put them in battle array against the Syrians.
11And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the people of Ammon.
12Then he said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.”
14So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
15When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab went to Jerusalem.
16Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them.
17When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians, and killed Shophach the commander of the army.
19And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.
