ગુજરાતી1 કાળવૃતાંત ૧૯:૩
ત્યારે આમ્મોની સરદારોએ હાનૂનને કહ્યું, “તું શું એમ માને છે કે, તારા પિતાને માન આપવાના હેતુથી દાઉદે આ માણસોને આશ્વાસન આપવા મોકલ્યા છે? એ માણસો તો તેના જાસૂસો છે અને આ દેશને શી રીતે જીતી લેવો એની બાતમી મેળવવા આવ્યા છે.”
हिन्दी1 इतिहास १९:३
परन्तु अम्मोनियों के हाकिम हानून से कहने लगे, “दाऊद ने जो तेरे पास शान्ति देनेवाले भेजे हैं, वह क्या तेरी समझ में तेरे पिता का आदर करने की मनसा से भेजे हैं? क्या उसके कर्मचारी इसी मनसा से तेरे पास नहीं आए, कि ढूँढ़-ढाँढ़ करें और नष्ट करें, और देश का भेद लें?”

In context

1After this, Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

2David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.

3But the princes of the children of Ammon said 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?”

4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle at their buttocks, and sent them away.

5Then some people went and told David how the men were treated. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
