2 Samuel 10:1-2

New International Reader's Version

David Wins the Victory Over the Ammonites

10 The king of Ammon died. His son Hanun became the next king after him. ² David thought, “I’m going to be kind to Hanun. His father Nahash was kind to me.” So David sent messengers to Hanun. He wanted them to tell Hanun how sad he was that Hanun’s father had died.

David’s messengers went to the land of Ammon.
