1 Chronicles 19:2-4

21st Century King James Version

² And David said, “I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.

³ But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? Are not his servants come unto thee to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?”

⁴ Therefore Hanun took David’s servants and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle by their buttocks, and sent them away.
