1 Chronicles 19:2-8
2And DavidH1732 saidH559, “I will showH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 HanunH2586 sonH1121 of NahashH5176, becauseH3588 his fatherH1 showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to meH5973.”
So DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to consoleH5162 Hanun concerningH5921 his fatherH1. But when David’sH1732 servantsH5650 arrivedH935 inH413 the landH776 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983H413H2586 to console himH5162, 3the princesH8269 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983 saidH559 to HanunH2586, “Just becauseH3588 David has sentH7971 you comfortersH5162, do you really believeH5869 he isH1732 showing respectH3513 for your fatherH1? Have notH3808 his servantsH5650 comeH935 to youH413 to exploreH5668H2713 the landH776, spy it outH7270, and overthrow itH2015?”
4So HanunH2586 tookH3947 David’sH1732 servantsH5650, shavedH1548 their beards, cut offH3772 their garmentsH4063 atH2677H5704 the hipsH4667, and sent them awayH7971.
5When someone cameH1980 and toldH5046 DavidH1732 aboutH5921 his menH582, he sentH7971 messengers to meet themH7122, sinceH3588 the menH582 had beenH1961 thoroughlyH3966 humiliatedH3637. The kingH4428 told themH559, “StayH3427 in JerichoH3405 untilH5704 your beardsH2206 have grown backH6779, and then returnH7725.”
6When the AmmonitesH1121H5983H3588 realized thatH7200 they had become a stenchH887 toH5973 DavidH1732, HanunH2586 and the AmmonitesH1121H5983 sentH7971 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH37011 to hireH7936 for themselves chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 fromH4480 Aram-naharaimH763H4480H758,2 Aram-maacahH4601, and ZobahH6678. 7So they hiredH7936 for themselves thirty-twoH8147H7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, as well asH853 the kingH4428 of MaacahH4601 with his troopsH5971, who cameH935 and campedH2583 nearH6440 MedebaH4311 while the AmmonitesH1121H5983 were mustered from their citiesH5892H935 and marched outH622 for battleH4421.
8On hearing thisH8085, DavidH1732 sentH7971 JoabH3097 andH853 the entireH3605 armyH6635 of mighty menH1368.
