Divrei HaYamim I 19:1-5 דברי הימים א י״ט:א׳-ה׳

Now it came to pass after this, that Naĥash the king of the children of ῾Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

And David said, I will deal loyally with Ḥanun the son of Naĥash, because his father dealt loyally with me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of ῾Ammon to Ḥanun, to comfort him.

But the princes of the children of ῾Ammon said to Ḥanun, Thinkst thou that David honours thy father, that he has sent comforters to thee? are not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

So Ḥanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle to their hips, and sent them away.

Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men had been treated. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Yeriĥo until your beards are grown, and then return.
