So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.
Then some people went and told David how the men were treated.
He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated.
The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
