And David  sent  messengers  to comfort  him concerning his father.  So the servants  of David  came  into the land  of the children  of Ammon  to Hanun,  to comfort  [3] But the princes  of the children  of Ammon  said  to Hanun,  Thinkest  thou that David  doth honour  thy father,  that he hath sent  comforters  unto thee? are not his servants  come  unto thee for to search,  and to overthrow,  and to spy out  the land?  [4] Wherefore Hanun  took  David's  servants,  and shaved  them, and cut off  their garments  in the midst  hard by their buttocks,  and sent them away.  [5] certain, and told  David  how the men  were served. And he sent  to meet  them: for the men  were greatly  ashamed.  And the king  said,  Tarry  at Jericho  until your beards  be grown,  and then return.
