2 Samuel 10:4-5

4So Hanun took David’s servants and 1shaved off half of their beards, and 2cut off their robes in the middle as far as their buttocks, and sent them away. 5When messengers informed David, he sent servants to meet them, because the men were extremely humiliated. And the king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back, and then you shall return.”
