DAVID'S MESSENGERS, SENT TO COMFORT HANUN, ARE DISGRACEFULLY TREATED. (Ch1 19:1-5)
after this--This phrase seems to indicate that the incident now to be related took place immediately, or soon after the wars described in the preceding chapter. But the chronological order is loosely observed, and the only just inference that can be drawn from the use of this phrase is, that some farther account is to be given of the wars against the Syrians.
Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died--There had subsisted a very friendly relation between David and him, begun during the exile of the former, and cemented, doubtless, by their common hostility to Saul. |

1 Now it came to pass after this [0310], that Nahash [05176] the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] died [04191], and his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
2 And David [01732] said [0559], I will shew [06213] kindness [02617] unto Hanun [02586] the son [01121] of Nahash [05176], because his father [01] shewed [06213] kindness [02617] to me. And David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] to comfort [05162] him concerning his father [01]. So the servants [05650] of David [01732] came [0935] into the land [0776] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] to Hanun [02586], to comfort [05162] him.
3 But the princes [08269] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] said [0559] to Hanun [02586], Thinkest [05869] thou that David [01732] doth honour [03513] thy father [01], that he hath sent [07971] comforters [05162] unto thee? are not his servants [05650] come [0935] unto thee for to search [02713], and to overthrow [02015], and to spy out [07270] the land [0776]?
4 Wherefore Hanun [02586] took [03947] David's [01732] servants [05650], and shaved [01548] them, and cut off [03772] their garments [04063] in the midst [02677] hard by their buttocks [04667], and sent them away [07971].
5 Then there went [03212] certain, and told [05046] David [01732] how the men [0582] were served. And he sent [07971] to meet [07125] them: for the men [0582] were greatly [03966] ashamed [03637]. And the king [04428] said [0559], Tarry [03427] at Jericho [03405] until your beards [02206] be grown [06779], and then return [07725].
1 And it came to pass after this [0310], that the king [04428] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983] died [04191], and Hanun [02586] his son [01121] reigned [04427] in his stead.
