4 So Hanun seized David’s officials, shaved them, and cut off their clothing up to the middle of their buttocks and sent them away.
5 After they were sent on their way, David received a report about these men. David sent messengers to meet them, for the men were deeply humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 The Ammonites saw that they had made themselves a disgusting stench to David. Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents[a] of silver to hire chariots and charioteers for themselves from Aram of the Two Rivers, from Aram Ma’akah, and from Zobah.
