1 Chronicles 19:4-6
Tree of Life Version
4 So Hanun took David’s emissaries and shaved them. He cut off their garments in the middle at the buttocks and sent them away.
5 When some people came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them for the men were throughly humiliated. The king said: “Stay in Jericho until your beards grow and then return.”
6 When the children of Ammon realized they had made themselves a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram-naharaim[a], Aram-maacah and Zobah.
