Hanun shaves off one half of the beards of David’s servants and sends them away
하눈이 다윗의 신복들의 수염 절반을 깎고 돌려보냄
2 Samuel 10:1–5: after this, the king of the children of Ammon dies, and Hanun his son reigns in his place. David says, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sends by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants come into the land of the children of Ammon. But the princes of the children of Ammon say to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?” So Hanun takes David’s servants, shaves off one half of their beards, and cuts off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sends them away. When they tell David this, he sends to meet them, for the men are greatly ashamed. The king says, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.” At 10:2 the Korean Revised Version has David command his servants, 그 신복들을 명하여 그 아비 죽은 것을 조상하라.
