2 Samuel 10: War with the Ammonites and Arameans

David sends envoys to console the new Ammonite king Hanun, but Hanun disgraces them on his officials' advice. The Ammonites hire Aramean troops, and Joab and Abishai defeat both armies while trusting the outcome to God. David then crushes the regrouped Arameans, whose vassal kings submit to Israel.
