1 Chronicles 19:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.

2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,

3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Have not his servants come to you to explore the land, spy it out, and overthrow it?”

4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved their beards, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
