2 Samuel 10:1-5
11Now it happenedH1961 afterwardH310H3651 that 2the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983 diedH4191, and his sonH1121 HanunH2586 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 2Then DavidH1732 saidH559, “I will showH6213 kindnessH2617 to HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of 3NahashH5176, justH3512 asH3512 his fatherH1 showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to me.” So DavidH1732 sentH7971 4someH3027 of his servantsH5650 to consoleH5162 him aboutH413 his fatherH1. But when David’sH1732 servantsH5650 cameH935 to the landH776 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983, 3the commandersH8269 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983 saidH559 to their lordH113 HanunH2586, “5Do you thinkH5869 that DavidH1732 is simply honoringH3513 your fatherH1 sinceH3588 he has sentH7971 you servants 6to consoleH5162 you? 7Has DavidH1732 not sentH7971 his servantsH5650 to you in orderH5668 to exploreH2713 the cityH5892, to spyH7270 it outH7270 and overthrowH2015 it?” 4So HanunH2586 tookH3947 David’sH1732 servantsH5650 and 8shavedH1548 offH1548 halfH2677 of their beardsH2206, and 9cutH3772 offH3772 their robesH4063 in the middleH2677 as farH5704 as their buttocksH8351, and sentH7971 them awayH7971. 5When messengers informedH5046 DavidH1732, he sentH7971 servants to meetH7122 them, becauseH3588 the menH376 were extremelyH3966 humiliatedH3637. And the kingH4428 saidH559, “StayH3427 in JerichoH3405 untilH5704 your beardsH2206 growH6779 back, and then you shall returnH7725.”
