1 Chronicles 19:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem unto thee that David honours thy father, that he has sent comforters unto thee? Are not his slaves come unto thee to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?

⁴ Then Hanun took David’s slaves and shaved them, and cut off their garments in half, exposing their buttocks and sent them away.

⁵ Then they left, and it was told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards are grown and then return.
