1 Chronicles 19:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ So Hanun arrested David’s delegation, shaved off their beards, cut off their clothes at the waist line, and sent them away in disgrace.^[a]

⁵ After they had departed, David was informed about the men, so he sent word^[b] to them, since they had been deeply humiliated. He told them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”

⁶ When the Ammonites realized that they had created quite a stink with David, Hanun and the Ammonites spent 1,000 silver talents^[c] to hire chariots and mercenaries from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.
