In the course of time, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king.

The king of Ammon died. His son Hanun became the next king after him.

Some time after this, King Nahash of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king.

Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.

Now it happened afterward that the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.

It happened after this that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

Some time later the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.

And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

Later the king of the Ammonites died and his son Hanun succeeded him.

After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

Then Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh-gilead, and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash,“ Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”But Nahash the Ammonite said to them,“ On this condition I will make a treaty with you, that I gouge out all your right eyes, and thus bring disgrace on all Israel.”The elders of Jabesh said to him,“ Give us seven days’ respite that we may send messengers through all the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to save us, we will give ourselves up to you.”

So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites,and they crushed and oppressed the people of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.

Now after this Nahash the king of the Ammonites died, and his son reigned in his place.And David said,“ I will deal kindly with Hanun the son of Nahash, for his father dealt kindly with me.” So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David’s servants came to the land of the Ammonites to Hanun to console him.But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun,“ Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?”So Hanun took David’s servants and shaved them and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away;and they departed. When David was told concerning the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said,“ Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return.”When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.They hired 32,000 chariots and the king of Maacah with his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle.When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians.The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and they were arrayed against the Ammonites.And he said,“ If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will help you.Be strong, and let us use our strength for our people and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.”So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians for battle, and they fled before him.And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, Joab’s brother, and entered the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head.And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan and came to them and drew up his forces against them. And when David set the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David killed of the Syrians the men of 7,000 chariots and 40,000 foot soldiers, and put to death also Shophach the commander of their army.And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Syrians were not willing to save the Ammonites any more.

Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites and said,“ What do you have against me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?”And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah,“ Because Israel on coming up from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably.”Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonitesand said to him,“ Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites,but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying,‘ Please let us pass through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.“ Then they journeyed through the wilderness and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him,‘ Please let us pass through your land to our country,’but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country.And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.So then the Lord, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them?Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess.Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them?While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time?I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me. The Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon.”But the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the words of Jephthah that he sent to him.
