 1 CHRONICLES 19

The king of the Ammonites dies and is succeeded by Hanun. David sends messengers to give condolences. However, they are interpreted as spies, so he has the base of their beards cut off and their garments below their buttocks. David tells them to wait in Jericho until their beards grow. The Ammonites then prepare for war.
