2Sam 10:2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

wayyō’mərû śārê ḇənê-‘ammôn ’el-ḥānûn ’ăḏōnêhem haməḵabbēḏ dāwiḏ ’eṯ-’āḇîḵā bə‘êneyḵā kî-šālaḥ ləḵā mənaḥămîm hălô’ ba‘ăḇûr ḥăqôr ’eṯ-hā‘îr ûləraggəlāhh ûləhāp̱əḵāhh šālaḥ dāwiḏ ’eṯ-‘ăḇāḏāyw ’ēleyḵā

2Sam 10:3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

wayyiqqaḥ ḥānûn ’eṯ-‘aḇəḏê ḏāwiḏ wayəg̱allaḥ ’eṯ-ḥăṣî zəqānām wayyiḵərōṯ ’eṯ-maḏəwêhem baḥēṣî ‘aḏ šəṯôṯêhem wayəšalləḥēm

2Sam 10:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

wayyaggiḏû ləḏāwiḏ wayyišəlaḥ liqərā’ṯām kî-hāyû hā’ănāšîm niḵəlāmîm mə’ōḏ wayyō’mer hammeleḵ šəḇû ḇîrēḥô ‘aḏ-yəṣammaḥ zəqanəḵem wəšaḇətem

2Sam 10:5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

wayyirə’û bənê ‘ammôn kî niḇə’ăšû bəḏāwiḏ wayyišələḥû ḇənê-‘ammôn wayyiśəkərû ’eṯ-’ăram bêṯ-rəḥôḇ wə’eṯ-’ăram ṣôḇā’ ‘eśərîm ’elep̱ rag̱əlî wə’eṯ-meleḵ ma‘ăḵāh ’elep̱ ’îš wə’îš ṭôḇ šənêm-‘āśār ’elep̱ ’îš

2Sam 10:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.

wayyišəma‘ dāwiḏ wayyišəlaḥ ’eṯ-yô’āḇ wə’ēṯ kāl-haṣṣāḇā’ haggibbōrîm

2Sam 10:7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

wayyēṣə’û bənê ‘ammôn wayya‘arəḵû miləḥāmāh peṯaḥ haššā‘ar wa’ăram ṣôḇā’ ûrəḥôḇ wə’îš-ṭôḇ ûma‘ăḵāh ləḇaddām baśśāḏeh

2Sam 10:8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

wayyarə’ yô’āḇ kî-hāyəṯāh ’ēlāyw pənê hammiləḥāmāh mippānîm ûmē’āḥôr wayyiḇəḥar mikkōl bəḥûrê yiśərā’ēl wayya‘ărōḵ liqəra’ṯ ’ărām

2Sam 10:9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:

wə’ēṯ yeṯer hā‘ām nāṯan bəyaḏ ’aḇəšay ’āḥîw wayya‘ărōḵ liqəra’ṯ bənê ‘ammôn

2Sam 10:10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.

wayyō’mer ’im-teḥĕzaq ’ărām mimmennî wəhāyiṯāh llî lîšû‘āh wə’im-bənê ‘ammôn yeḥĕzəqû mimməḵā wəhālaḵətî ləhôšîa‘ lāḵ

2Sam 10:11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.

ḥăzaq wəniṯəḥazzaq bə‘aḏ-‘ammēnû ûḇə‘aḏ ‘ārê ’ĕlōhênû wayhwāh ya‘ăśeh haṭṭôḇ bə‘ênāyw

2Sam 10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

wayyiggaš yô’āḇ wəhā‘ām ’ăšer ‘immô lammiləḥāmāh ba’ărām wayyānusû mippānāyw

2Sam 10:13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

ûḇənê ‘ammôn rā’û kî-nās ’ărām wayyānusû mippənê ’ăḇîšay wayyāḇō’û hā‘îr wayyāšāḇ yô’āḇ mē‘al bənê ‘ammôn wayyāḇō’ yərûšālāim

2Sam 10:14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

wayyarə’ ’ărām kî niggap̱ lip̱ənê yiśərā’ēl wayyē’āsəp̱û yāḥaḏ

2Sam 10:15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

wayyišəlaḥ hăḏaḏə‘ezer wayyōṣē’ ’eṯ-’ărām ’ăšer mē‘ēḇer hannāhār wayyāḇō’û ḥêlām wəšôḇaḵ śar-ṣəḇā’ hăḏaḏə‘ezer lip̱ənêhem

2Sam 10:16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

wayyuggaḏ ləḏāwiḏ wayye’ĕsōp̱ ’eṯ-kāl-yiśərā’ēl wayya‘ăḇōr ’eṯ-hayyarədēn wayyāḇō’ ḥēlā’māh wayya‘arəḵû ’ărām liqəra’ṯ dāwiḏ wayyillāḥămû ‘immô

2Sam 10:17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

wayyānās ’ărām mippənê yiśərā’ēl wayyahărōg̱ dāwiḏ mē’ărām šəḇa‘ mē’ôṯ reḵeḇ wə’arəbā‘îm ’elep̱ pārāšîm wə’ēṯ šôḇaḵ śar-ṣəḇā’ô hikkāh wayyāmāṯ šām

2Sam 10:18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

wayyirə’û ḵāl-hamməlāḵîm ‘aḇəḏê hăḏaḏə‘ezer kî niggəp̱û lip̱ənê yiśərā’ēl wayyašəlimû ’eṯ-yiśərā’ēl wayya‘aḇəḏûm wayyirə’û ’ărām ləhôšîa‘ ‘ôḏ ’eṯ-bənê ‘ammôn

2Sam 10:19 And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
