2 Samuel 10:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

10 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died. And Hanun, his son, reigned in his place.

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

³ And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it?”
