A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun--Their suspicion was not warranted either by any overt act or by any cherished design of David: it must have originated in their knowledge of the denunciations of God's law against them (Deu 23:3-6), and of David's policy in steadfastly adhering to it.

3 An Ammonite [05984] or Moabite [04125] shall not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068]; even to their tenth [06224] generation [01755] shall they not enter [0935] into the congregation [06951] of the LORD [03068] for [05704] ever [05769]:
4 Because [01697] they met [06923] you not with bread [03899] and with water [04325] in the way [01870], when ye came forth [03318] out of Egypt [04714]; and because they hired [07936] against thee Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] of Pethor [06604] of Mesopotamia [0763], to curse [07043] thee.
5 Nevertheless the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] would [014] not hearken [08085] unto Balaam [01109]; but the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] turned [02015] the curse [07045] into a blessing [01293] unto thee, because the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] loved [0157] thee.
6 Thou shalt not seek [01875] their peace [07965] nor their prosperity [02896] all thy days [03117] for ever [05769].
2 And he smote [05221] Moab [04124], and measured [04058] them with a line [02256], casting them down [07901] to the ground [0776]; even with two [08147] lines [02256] measured [04058] he to put to death [04191], and with one full [04393] line [02256] to keep alive [02421]. And so the Moabites [04124] became David's [01732] servants [05650], and brought [05375] gifts [04503].
10 And the young men [03206] that were grown up [01431] with him spake [01696] unto him, saying [0559], Thus shalt thou speak [0559] unto this people [05971] that spake [01696] unto thee, saying [0559], Thy father [01] made [03513] our yoke [05923] heavy [03513], but make thou it lighter [07043] unto us; thus shalt thou say [01696] unto them, My little [06995] finger shall be thicker [05666] than my father's [01] loins [04975].
11 And now whereas my father [01] did lade [06006] you with a heavy [03515] yoke [05923], I will add [03254] to your yoke [05923]: my father [01] hath chastised [03256] you with whips [07752], but I will chastise [03256] you with scorpions [06137].
