1 In the course of time, Nahash king of the Ammonites died, and his son succeeded him as king.
2 David thought: »I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.« So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. David’s men came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him.
3 The Ammonite nobles said to Hanun: »Do you think David honors your father by sending men to you to express sympathy? Or have his men come to you to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?«
