2 David thought, |I will show kindness to Hanun as his father Nahash showed me kindness.| So David sent his servants to comfort Hanun after his father's [death]. But when David's servants entered Ammonite territory, 3 the Ammonite princes asked their master Hanun, |Do you think David is honoring your father because he sent men to comfort you? Hasn't David sent his men to explore the city, spy on it, and destroy it?| 4 So Hanun took David's men, shaved off half of each man's beard, cut off their clothes from the waist down, and sent them away. 2 Samuel 10:2-4, God's Word Translation.
