David’s Battles with the Ammonites. ¹ Sometime after this, Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, died, and his son reigned in his stead. ² David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent emissaries to console him with regard to his father. David’s servants came to the land of Ammon, to console Hanun.
