2 Samuel 10:1-2

1Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died. His son Hanun became the new king.

2David thought, ‘I will be kind to Hanun, because his father Nahash was kind to me.’ So David sent some of his officers to give a message to Hanun. David wanted to tell Hanun that he was sorry that Nahash had died. David's officers took his message to the land of the Ammonites.
