After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. See also: 2 Samuel 10:1-191 Samuel 11:1-21 Samuel 12:12David 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. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him. See also: Deuteronomy 23:3-61 Samuel 30:26Genesis 19:37-38But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?” See also: 1 Samuel 29:9Judges 18:2Judges 18:8-10So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away. See also: 2 Samuel 10:4-5Isaiah 15:2Jeremiah 48:37Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” See also: Joshua 6:24-26Matthew 18:311 Kings 16:34When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah. See also: Genesis 34:301 Chronicles 18:92 Samuel 10:6So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah with his people, who came and encamped near Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. See also: Joshua 13:9Numbers 21:30Joshua 13:16When David heard of it, he sent Joab with all the army of the mighty men. See also: 1 Chronicles 11:62 Samuel 23:8-391 Chronicles 11:10-47The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field. See also: 2 Chronicles 13:3Isaiah 28:61 Kings 20:1Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose some of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. See also: Judges 20:42-43Joshua 8:222 Samuel 10:9-14The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon. See also: 1 Chronicles 18:121 Chronicles 11:201 Chronicles 19:9He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you. See also: Philippians 1:27-28Nehemiah 4:20Galatians 6:2Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him.” See also: Psalms 27:14Nehemiah 4:142 Samuel 10:12So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. See also: 1 Kings 20:131 Kings 20:28-302 Chronicles 13:5-16When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. See also: Leviticus 26:7Romans 8:31When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and called out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer leading them. See also: 2 Samuel 10:16Zechariah 14:1-3Isaiah 8:9David was told that, so he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, came to them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. See also: 1 Chronicles 19:9Isaiah 22:6-7The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrian men seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand footmen, and also killed Shophach the captain of the army. See also: 2 Samuel 10:18Psalms 18:321 Chronicles 19:13-14When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. The Syrians would not help the children of Ammon any more. See also: 2 Samuel 10:19Psalms 48:3-6Psalms 18:44

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
