1 Chronicles 19:2-8

2And DavidH1732 saidH559, I will showH6213 kindnessH2617 to HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176, because his fatherH1 showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to me. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to comfortH5162 him concerning his fatherH1. So the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 cameH935 into the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to HanunH2586, to comfortH5162 him. 3But the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 to HanunH2586, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513 thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971 comfortersH5162 to thee? are not his servantsH5650 comeH935 to thee to searchH2713, and to overthrowH2015, and to spy outH7270 the landH776?1 4Therefore HanunH2586 tookH3947 David’sH1732 servantsH5650, and shavedH1548 them, and cut offH3772 their garmentsH4063 in the middleH2677, even to their buttocksH4667, and sent them awayH7971. 5Then there wentH3212 certain, and toldH5046 DavidH1732 how the menH582 were served. And he sentH7971 to meetH7125 them: for the menH582 were greatlyH3966 ashamedH3637. And the kingH4428 saidH559, TarryH3427 at JerichoH3405 until your beardsH2206 are grownH6779, and then returnH7725.

6And when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sawH7200 that they had made themselves odiousH887 to DavidH1732, HanunH2586 and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 sentH7971 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 to hireH7936 them chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 out of MesopotamiaH763, and out of SyriamaachahH758H4601, and out of ZobahH6678.2 7So they hiredH7936 thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and the kingH4428 of MaachahH4601 and his peopleH5971; who cameH935 and encampedH2583 beforeH6440 MedebaH4311. And the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 gathered themselves togetherH622 from their citiesH5892, and cameH935 to battleH4421. 8And when DavidH1732 heardH8085 of it, he sentH7971 JoabH3097, and all the hostH6635 of the mighty menH1368.
