10:4 So Hanun seized David’s servants and shaved off half of each one’s beard. He cut the lower part of their robes off so that their buttocks were exposed, ¹  and then sent them away. 10:5 Messengers ²  told David what had happened, ³  so he summoned them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho ⁴  until your beards have grown again; then you may come back.”
