Hanun shaves David’s servants, cuts off their garments, and sends them away

다윗의 신복들의 수염을 깎고 의복을 잘라 돌려 보낸 하눈

1 Chronicles 19:1–5: after this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon dies, and his son reigns in his place. David says, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sends messengers to comfort him concerning his father, and David’s servants come into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him. But the princes of the children of Ammon say to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?” So Hanun takes David’s servants, shaves them, and cuts off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sends them away. Then some people go and tell David how the men were treated. He sends to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king says, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” The Korean Revised Version gives David’s words at 19:2 with the reason first (하눈의 아비 나하스가 전에 내게 은혜를 베풀었으니, Nahash the father of Hanun showed kindness to me before), reads 그 수염을 깎고, shaved their beards, at 19:4, and names David at 19:5 (다윗이 저희를 맞으러 보내어 이르기를, David sent to meet them and said), where WEB has “He” and “The king”.
