And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Terrible things happened in this chapter. None of them were necessary.
If only Hanun had asked the men of Israel why they had come instead of believing a false report about them- If only he had apologized and sought peace instead of calling in others to reinforce him
- If only the other kings had counseled to make peace with David
Every death that happened was the result of pride and the refusal to humble self.
In the end peace was made, but it was through surrender.
- If only they had surrendered first
