RF CH1 19:1 (1037 B.C.) The Beni-Amon insult David's Ambassadors.
It was after this that Naksh, King of the Beni-Amon, died, and his son reigned after him.
RF CH1 19:2 So David said, "I will show friendship to Hanun the son of Naksh, for his father showed friendship to me." David consequently sent Ambassadors to console him about his father. David's Officers accordingly went to the country of the Beni-Amon to Hanun to console him.
RF CH1 19:3 But the Princes of the Beni-Amon said to Hanun, "Does David honour your father in your sight that he sends you presents? Have not his Officers come to you with the object of examining, and inspecting, and surveying the country?"
RF CH1 19:4 Consequently Hanun seized David's Officers and shaved them, and cut off their robes half way up their buttocks, and sent them away!
RF CH1 19:5 So they sent and informed David about those persons, and he sent to meet them, for they had been grievously outraged. Therefore the king commanded, "Stay at Jeriko until your beards are grown."
RF CH1 19:6 When the Beni-Amon, however, saw that they had insulted David, Hanun sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for himself chariots and cavalry from Aram-tween-rivers, and from Aram of the Plain, and from the Zobah,1
RF CH1 19:7 and hired with them thirty-two thousand Charioteers and the King of the Plain and his Forces, and advanced and encamped before Medeba, where the Beni-Amon were collected from their towns. From there they advanced to the war.
RF CH1 19:8 Joab ordered to resist the Beni-Amon and allies.
But David heard it, and sent Joab and the Generals of the Army.
RF CH1 19:9 The Beni-Amon then drew out for battle opposite the City; with the kings, who had come to help them, to separately in the open field.
RF CH1 19:10 Joab consequently perceived that a Double Battle was before him;—on his front and rear. He therefore selected all the Israelite soldiers and disposed them to meet Aram;

RF CH1 19:11 and put the rest of the forces into the hands of his brother Abishai, whom he ordered to meet the Beni-Amon;
RF CH1 19:12 and said; "If the Aramites are too strong for me, come and help me to defeat them. But if the Beni-Amon are too strong for you, I will rescue you.
RF CH1 19:13 Be bold and resolute for our People, and for the City of our GOD;—and let the LORD do what is best in His sight!"
RF CH1 19:14 Then Joab, and the force that was with him advanced to the front of the Ararnites to fight, and they fled before him.
RF CH1 19:15 And when the Beni-Amon saw that Aram fled, they also ran from the face of Abishai, his brother, and entered the City. Joab afterwards returned to Jerusalem.
RF CH1 19:16 The Aramians ally with the Mesopotamians.
But Aram, seeing that they had been defeated by Israel, sent Ambassadors who went to Aram-over-the-River,1 and hired the General of Hadadezer to help them.
RF CH1 19:17 But this was reported to David, so he collected the Forces of Israel and passed over the Jordan, and advanced against them, when they arrayed against him, and David disposed his army to meet Aram in battle, and they fought with him.
RF CH1 19:18 But Aram fled before Israel, and David slew seven thousand Charioteers and forty thousand Infantry, and killed Shofek the Commander of their army.
RF CH1 19:19 But when the officers of Hadadezer saw that they were worsted by Israel, they made peace with David, and were subject to him; and the Aramites were unwilling to assist the Beni-Amon again.
