1 Chronicles 19:2-4

Modern English Version

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

³ But the leaders of the Ammonites said to Hanun, “Do you think that David is honoring your father because he sent consolers? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?” ⁴ So Hanun took the servants of David, shaved them, cut their garments in half as far as the hip, and sent them away.
