Instead, hasn’t David sent his emissaries in order to scout out the city, spy on it, and demolish it?”So Hanun took David’s emissaries, shaved off half their beards, cut their clothes in half at the hips, and sent them away.When this was reported to David, he sent someone to meet them, since they were deeply humiliated. The king said,“ Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.”When the Ammonites realized they had become repulsive to David, they hired twenty thousand foot soldiers from the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, one thousand men from the king of Maacah, and twelve thousand men from Tob.
