2 Samuel / Question
Question source
2 Samuel
Ammonite leaders suggested David’s servants had come to spy out the land rather than to show kindness. Hanun shaved off half their beards and cut their garments, sending them away in shame. See 2 Samuel 10:3–4.
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn`t David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4So Hanun took David`s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
