1 Chronicles 19:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, Do you think that David has sent comforters to you because he honors your father? Have his servants not come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

⁴ Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, cut off their garments in the middle near their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁵ When David was told how the men were served, he sent to meet them, for [they] were greatly shamed and embarrassed. The king said, Stay in Jericho until your beards are grown, and then return.
