And in like manner they sent{H7971}{(H8804)} unto the king{H4428} of Moab{H4124}: but he would{H14}{(H8804)} not consent: and Israel{H3478} abode{H3427}{(H8799)} in Kadesh{H6946}. 18 Then they went along{H3212}{(H8799)} through the wilderness{H4057}, and compassed{H5437}{(H8799)} the land{H776} of Edom{H123}, and the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} by the east side{H4217}{H8121} of the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} on the other side{H5676} of Arnon{H769}, but came{H935}{(H8804)} not within the border{H1366} of Moab{H4124}: for Arnon{H769} was the border{H1366} of Moab{H4124}. 19 And Israel{H3478} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} messengers{H4397} unto Sihon{H5511} king{H4428} of the Amorites{H567}, the king{H4428} of Heshbon{H2809}; and Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Let us pass{H5674}{(H8799)}, we pray thee, through thy land{H776} into{H5704} my place{H4725}. 20 But Sihon{H5511} trusted{H539}{(H8689)} not Israel{H3478} to pass{H5674}{(H8800)} through his coast{H1366}: but Sihon{H5511} gathered{H622} all his people{H5971} together{H622}{(H8799)}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} in Jahaz{H3096}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} against Israel{H3478}. 21 And the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} Sihon{H5511} and all his people{H5971} into the hand{H3027} of Israel{H3478}, and they smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them: so Israel{H3478} possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} all the land{H776} of the Amorites{H567}, the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of that country{H776}. 22 And they possessed{H3423}{(H8799)} all the coasts{H1366} of the Amorites{H567}, from Arnon{H769} even unto Jabbok{H2999}, and from the wilderness{H4057} even unto Jordan{H3383}. 23 So now the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} hath dispossessed{H3423}{(H8689)} the Amorites{H567} from before{H6440} his people{H5971} Israel{H3478}, and shouldest thou possess{H3423}{(H8799)} it? 24 Wilt not thou possess{H3423}{(H8799)} that which Chemosh{H3645} thy god{H430} giveth thee to possess{H3423}{(H8686)}? So whomsoever the LORD{H3068} our God{H430} shall drive out{H3423}{(H8689)} from before{H6440} us, them will we possess{H3423}{(H8799)}. 25 And now art thou any thing better{H2896} than Balak{H1111} the son{H1121} of Zippor{H6834}, king{H4428} of Moab{H4124}? did he ever{H7378}{(H8800)} strive{H7378}{(H8804)} against Israel{H3478}, or did he ever{H3898}{(H8736)} fight{H3898}{(H8738)} against them, 26 While Israel{H3478} dwelt{H3427}{(H8800)} in Heshbon{H2809} and her towns{H1323}, and in Aroer{H6177} and her towns{H1323}, and in all the cities{H5892} that be along by the coasts{H3027} of Arnon{H769}, three{H7969} hundred{H3967} years{H8141}? why therefore did ye not recover{H5337}{(H8689)} them within that time{H6256}? 27 Wherefore I have not sinned{H2398}{(H8804)} against thee, but thou doest{H6213}{(H8802)}{H853} me wrong{H7451} to war{H3898}{(H8736)} against me: the LORD{H3068} the Judge{H8199}{(H8802)} be judge{H8199}{(H8799)} this day{H3117} between the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 28 Howbeit the king{H4428} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto the words{H1697} of Jephthah{H3316} which he sent{H7971}{(H8804)} him. 29 Then the Spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068} came upon Jephthah{H3316}, and he passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} Gilead{H1568}, and Manasseh{H4519}, and passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} Mizpeh{H4708} of Gilead{H1568}, and from Mizpeh{H4708} of Gilead{H1568} he passed over{H5674}{(H8804)} unto the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 30 And Jephthah{H3316} vowed{H5087}{(H8799)} a vow{H5088} unto the LORD{H3068}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, If thou shalt without fail{H5414}{(H8800)} deliver{H5414}{(H8799)} the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} into mine hands{H3027}, 31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever{H3318}{(H8802)} cometh forth{H3318}{(H8799)} of the doors{H1817} of my house{H1004} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} me, when I return{H7725}{(H8800)} in peace{H7965} from the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, shall surely be the LORD'S{H3068}, and I will offer it up{H5927}{(H8689)} for a burnt offering{H5930}. 32 So Jephthah{H3316} passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} unto the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} against them; and the LORD{H3068} delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} them into his hands{H3027}. 33 And he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them from Aroer{H6177}, even till thou come{H935}{(H8800)} to Minnith{H4511}, even twenty{H6242} cities{H5892}, and unto the plain{H58} of the vineyards{H3754}{(H8677)}{H64}, with a very{H3966} great{H1419} slaughter{H4347}. Thus the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} were subdued{H3665}{(H8735)} before{H6440} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.
• 2 Sam 10:1-9 : 1 And it came to pass after this{H310}, that the king{H4428} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} died{H4191}{(H8799)}, and Hanun{H2586} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead. 2 Then said{H559}{(H8799)} David{H1732}, I will shew{H6213}{(H8799)} kindness{H2617} unto Hanun{H2586} the son{H1121} of Nahash{H5176}, as his father{H1} shewed{H6213}{(H8804)} kindness{H2617} unto me. And David{H1732} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to comfort{H5162}{(H8763)} him by the hand{H3027} of his servants{H5650} for his father{H1}. And David's{H1732} servants{H5650} came{H935}{(H8799)} into the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 3 And the princes{H8269} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Hanun{H2586} their lord{H113}, Thinkest{H5869} thou that David{H1732} doth honour{H3513}{(H8764)} thy father{H1}, that he hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} comforters{H5162}{(H8764)} unto thee? hath not David{H1732} rather sent{H7971}{(H8804)} his servants{H5650} unto thee, to{H5668} search{H2713}{(H8800)} the city{H5892}, and to spy it out{H7270}{(H8763)}, and to overthrow{H2015}{(H8800)} it? 4 Wherefore Hanun{H2586} took{H3947}{(H8799)} David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and shaved off{H1548}{(H8762)} the one half{H2677} of their beards{H2206}, and cut off{H3772}{(H8799)} their garments{H4063} in the middle{H2677}, even to their buttocks{H8357}, and sent them away{H7971}{(H8762)}. 5 When they told{H5046}{(H8686)} it unto David{H1732}, he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} them, because the men{H582} were greatly{H3966} ashamed{H3637}{(H8737)}: and the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Tarry{H3427}{(H8798)} at Jericho{H3405} until your beards{H2206} be grown{H6779}{(H8762)}, and then return{H7725}{(H8804)}. 6 And when the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they stank{H887}{(H8738)} before David{H1732}, the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} and hired{H7936}{(H8799)} the Syrians{H758} of Bethrehob{H1050}, and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} footmen{H7273}, and of king{H4428} Maacah{H4601} a thousand{H505} men{H376}, and of Ishtob{H382} twelve{H6240}{H8147} thousand{H505} men{H376}. 7 And when David{H1732} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} of it, he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Joab{H3097}, and all the host{H6635} of the mighty men{H1368}. 8 And the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} came out{H3318}{(H8799)}, and put the battle{H4421} in array{H6186}{(H8799)} at the entering in{H6607} of the gate{H8179}: and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, and of Rehob{H7340}, and Ishtob{H382}, and Maacah{H4601}, were by themselves{H905} in the field{H7704}. 9 When Joab{H3097} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that the front{H6440} of the battle{H4421} was against him before{H6440} and behind{H268}, he chose{H977}{(H8799)} of all the choice{H977}{(H8803)} men of Israel{H3478}, and put them in array{H6186}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} the Syrians{H758}: 10 And the rest{H3499} of the people{H5971} he delivered{H5414}{(H8804)} into the hand{H3027} of Abishai{H52} his brother{H251}, that he might put them in array{H6186}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 11 And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, If the Syrians{H758} be too strong{H2388}{(H8799)} for me, then thou shalt help{H3444} me: but if the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} be too strong{H2388}{(H8799)} for thee, then I will come{H1980}{(H8804)} and help{H3467}{(H8687)} thee. 12 Be of good courage{H2388}{(H8798)}, and let us play the men{H2388}{(H8691)} for our people{H5971}, and for the cities{H5892} of our God{H430}: and the LORD{H3068} do{H6213}{(H8799)} that which seemeth{H5869} him good{H2896}. 13 And Joab{H3097} drew nigh{H5066}{(H8799)}, and the people{H5971} that were with him, unto the battle{H4421} against the Syrians{H758}: and they fled{H5127}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him. 14 And when the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} that the Syrians{H758} were fled{H5127}{(H8804)}, then fled{H5127}{(H8799)} they also before{H6440} Abishai{H52}, and entered{H935}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}. So Joab{H3097} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} from the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389}.
