1 Chronicles 19

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Afterward Nahash, king of the Ammonites, died and his son succeeded him as king.	1 και εγενετο μετα ταυτα απεθανεν ναας βασιλευς υιων αμμων και εβασιλευσεν αναν υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, for his father treated me with kindness." Therefore he sent envoys to him to comfort him over the death of his father. But when David's servants had entered the land of the Ammonites to comfort Hanun,	2 και ειπεν δαυιδ ποιησω ελεος μετα αναν υιου ναας ως εποιησεν ο πατηρ αυτου μετ' εμου ελεος και απεστειλεν αγγελους δαυιδ του παρακαλεσαι αυτον περι του πατρος αυτου και ηλθον παιδες δαυιδ εις γην υιων αμμων του παρακαλεσαι αυτον
3 the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, "Do you think David is doing this--sending you these consolers--to honor your father? Have not his servants rather come to you to explore the land, spying it out for its overthrow?"	3 και ειπον αρχοντες αμμων προς αναν μη δοξαζων δαυιδ τον πατερα σου εναντιον σου απεστειλεν σοι παρακαλουντας ουχ οπως εξερευνησωσιν την πολιν του κατασκοπησαι την γην ηλθον παιδες αυτου προς σε
4 Thereupon Hanun seized David's servants and had them shaved and their garments cut off half-way at the hips. Then he sent them away.	4 και ελαβεν αναν τους παιδας δαυιδ και εξυρησεν αυτους και αφειλεν των μανδυων αυτων το ημισυ εως της αναβολης και απεστειλεν αυτους
5 When David was informed of what had happened to his men, he sent messengers to meet them, for the men had been greatly disgraced. "Remain at Jericho," the king told them, "until your beards have grown again; and then you may come back here."	5 και ηλθον απαγγειλαι τω δαυιδ περι των ανδρων και απεστειλεν εις απαντησιν αυτοις οτι ησαν ητιμωμενοι σφοδρα και ειπεν ο βασιλευς καθισατε εν ιεριχω εως του ανατειλαι τους πωγωνας υμων και ανακαμψατε
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had put themselves in bad odor with David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram Naharaim, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.	6 και ειδον οι υιοι αμμων οτι ησχυνθη λαος δαυιδ και απεστειλεν αναν και οι υιοι αμμων χιλια ταλαντα αργυριου του μισθωσασθαι εαυτοις εκ συριας μεσοποταμιας και εκ συριας μοοχα και εκ σωβα αρματα και ιππεις
7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots along with the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. The Ammonites also assembled from their cities and came out for war.	7 και εμισθωσαντο εαυτοις δυο και τριακοντα χιλιαδας αρματων και τον βασιλεα μωχα και τον λαον αυτου και ηλθον και παρενεβαλον κατεναντι μαιδαβα και οι υιοι αμμων συνηχθησαν εκ των πολεων αυτων και ηλθον εις το πολεμησαι
8 When David heard of this, he sent Joab and his whole army of warriors against them.	8 και ηκουσεν δαυιδ και απεστειλεν τον ιωαβ και πασαν την στρατιαν των δυνατων
9 The Ammonites marched out and lined up for a battle at the gate of the city, while the kings who had come to their help remained apart in the open field.	9 και εξηλθον οι υιοι αμμων και παρατασσονται εις πολεμον παρα τον πυλωνα της πολεως και οι βασιλεις οι ελθοντες παρενεβαλον καθ' εαυτους εν τω πεδιω
10 When Joab saw that there was a battle line both in front of and behind him, he chose some of the best fighters among the Israelites and set them in array against the Arameans;	10 και ειδεν ιωαβ οτι γεγονασιν αντιπροσωποι του πολεμειν προς αυτον κατα προσωπον και εξοπισθεν και εξελεξατο εκ παντος νεανιου εξ ισραηλ και παρεταξαντο εναντιον του συρου
11 the rest of the army, which he placed under the command of his brother Abishai, then lined up to oppose the Ammonites.	11 και το καταλοιπον του λαου εδωκεν εν χειρι αβεσσα αδελφου αυτου και παρεταξαντο εξ εναντιας υιων αμμων
12 And he said: "If the Arameans prove too strong for me, you must come to my help; and if the Ammonites prove too strong for you, I will save you.	12 και ειπεν εαν κρατηση υπερ εμε συρος και εση μοι εις σωτηριαν και εαν υιοι αμμων κρατησωσιν υπερ σε και σωσω σε
13 Hold steadfast and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and the cities of our God; then may the LORD do what seems best to him."	13 ανδριζου και ενισχυσωμεν περι του λαου ημων και περι των πολεων του θεου ημων και κυριος το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου ποιησει
14 Joab therefore advanced with his men to engage the Arameans in battle; but they fled before him.	14 και παρεταξατο ιωαβ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου κατεναντι συρων εις πολεμον και εφυγον απ' αυτου
15 And when the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they also took to flight before his brother Abishai, and reentered the city. Joab then returned to Jerusalem.	15 και οι υιοι αμμων ειδον οτι εφυγον συροι και εφυγον και αυτοι απο προσωπου ιωαβ και απο προσωπου αβεσσα του αδελφου αυτου και ηλθον εις την πολιν και ηλθεν ιωαβ εις ιερουσαλημ
16 Seeing themselves vanquished by Israel, the Arameans sent messengers to bring out the Arameans from the other side of the River, with Shophach, the general of Hadadezer's army, at their head.	16 και ειδεν συρος οτι ετροπωσατο αυτον ισραηλ και απεστειλεν αγγελους και εξηγαγον τον συρον εκ του περαν του ποταμου και σωφαχ αρχιστρατηγος δυναμεως αδρααζαρ εμπροσθεν αυτων
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and met them. With the army of David drawn up to fight the Arameans, they gave battle.	17 και απηγγελη τω δαυιδ και συνηγαγεν τον παντα ισραηλ και διεβη τον ιορδανην και ηλθεν επ' αυτους και παρεταξατο επ' αυτους και παρατασσεται συρος εξ εναντιας δαυιδ και επολεμησαν αυτον
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David slew seven thousand of their chariot fighters and forty thousand of their foot soldiers; he also killed Shophach, the general of the army.	18 και εφυγεν συρος απο προσωπου δαυιδ και απεκτεινεν δαυιδ απο του συρου επτα χιλιαδας αρματων και τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδας πεζων και τον σωφαχ αρχιστρατηγον δυναμεως απεκτεινεν
19 When the vassals of Hadadezer saw themselves vanquished by Israel, they made peace with David and became his subjects. After this, the Arameans refused to come to the aid of the Ammonites.	19 και ειδον παιδες αδρααζαρ οτι επταικασιν απο προσωπου ισραηλ και διεθεντο μετα δαυιδ και εδουλευσαν αυτω και ουκ ηθελησεν συρος του βοηθησαι τοις υιοις αμμων ετι
