The Ammonites Dishonor David’s Men

10 ^(A)Now it happened afterwards, that ^(B)the king of the sons of Ammon died, and Hanun his son became king in his place. ² So David said, “I will show lovingkindness to Hanun the son of ^(C)Nahash, just as his father showed lovingkindness to me.” So David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants. And David’s servants came to the land of the sons of Ammon. ³ But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “In your eyes, is David honoring your father because he has sent comforters to you? ^(D)Has David not sent his servants to you in order to search the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?”
