1 Chronicles 19:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ After they were sent on their way, David received a report about these men. David sent messengers to meet them, for the men were deeply humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

⁶ The Ammonites saw that they had made themselves a disgusting stench to David. Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents^[a] of silver to hire chariots and charioteers for themselves from Aram of the Two Rivers, from Aram Ma’akah, and from Zobah. ⁷ They hired thirty-two thousand chariots, the king of Ma’akah, and his troops. They came and set up camp in front of Medeba. The Ammonites were called together from their cities, and they came for battle.
