CHAPTER X

The king of Ammon being dead, David sends ambassadors to

comfort his son Hanun, by 2.

Hanun, misled by his courtiers, treats the messengers of David

with great indignity, 3-5.

The Ammonites, justly dreading David's resentment, send, and

hire the Syrians to make war upon him, 6.

Joab and Abishai meet them at the city of Medeba, and defeat

them, 7-14.

The Syrians collect another army, but are defeated by David with

great slaughter, and make with him a separate peace, 15-19.
