David's Messengers Abused

1 1Now it came about after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son became king in his place.
2 Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.
3 But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David is honoring your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"
4 So Hanun took David's servants and shaved them and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.
5 Then certain persons went and told David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until * your beards grow, and then return."
6 When the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah * and 2from Zobah.
7 So they hired for themselves 32,000 * * chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before 3Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities and came to battle.
