And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.

When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob, 12,000 men.

He has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us.Who would listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike.”

“ But now they laugh at me, men who are younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.What could I gain from the strength of their hands, men whose vigor is gone?Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes, and the roots of the broom tree for their food.They are driven out from human company; they shout after them as after a thief.In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.A senseless, a nameless brood, they have been whipped out of the land.“ And now I have become their song; I am a byword to them.They abhor me; they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
