1 Chronicles 19:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ So Hanun took the servants of David, shaved them, cut their garments in half as far as the hip, and sent them away.

⁵ Then some came and told David about the men, so he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Remain in Jericho until your beards grow full, and then return.”

⁶ When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent one thousand talents^[a] of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram Naharaim, Aram Maakah, and Zobah.
