1 Chronicles 19:3-5
International Standard Version
3 the Ammonite officials asked Hanun, “Do you think that because David has sent a delegation of consolers to you that he is honoring your father? His delegation has arrived to search, overthrow, and scout the land, hasn’t it?” 4 So Hanun arrested David’s delegation, shaved off their beards, cut off their clothes at the waist line, and sent them away in disgrace.[a]
5 After they had departed, David was informed about the men, so he sent word[b] to them, since they had been deeply humiliated. He told them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
