4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, aat their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly1 ashamed. And the king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they ahad made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired bthe Syrians of cBeth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of dMaacah one thousand men, and from eIsh-Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of athe mighty men.
8 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And athe Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
