1 Chronicles 19:4-6

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ So Hanun took David’s emissaries, shaved them, cut their clothes in half at the hips, and sent them away.^(A)

⁵ It was reported to David about his men, so he sent messengers to meet them, since the men were deeply humiliated. The king said, ‘Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.’

⁶ When the Ammonites realised^(B) they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent thirty-five tonnes^[a] of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.^(C)
