1 Chronicles 19:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Hanun, therefore, seized David’s servants, shaving them and cutting their garments up to their hips. He then sent them away.

⁵ Some men came in and told David about what had happened to the men, so he sent someone to meet them, for the men were terribly embarrassed. The king told them, “Wait at Jericho until your beards grow back, and then return.”

⁶ The Ammonites realized that they had become abhorrent to David, so Hanun and the Ammonites sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, Aram, and Zobah.
