1 Chronicles 19:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” And David sent messengers to comfort him for his father. So, the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon, to Hanun, to comfort him.

³ And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Did you think that David honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search, to seek and to spy out the land?”

⁴ Therefore, Hanun took David’s servants and shaved them and cut their garments in half to the buttocks and sent them away.
