ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૦:૩
પણ આમ્મોનીઓના આગેવાનોએ પોતાના રાજા હાનૂનને કહ્યું કે, “દાઉદે તારી પાસે તને દિલાસો આપવાને માણસો મોકલ્યા છે તેથી તું એવું માને છે કે દાઉદ તારા પિતાનો આદર કરે છે? શું દાઉદે પોતાના દાસોને નગર જોવાને તથા તેની જાસૂસી કરવાને તથા તેનો વિનાશ કરવાને માટે તારી પાસે મોકલ્યા નહિ હોય?”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १०:३
परन्तु अम्मोनियों के हाकिम अपने स्वामी हानून से कहने लगे, “दाऊद ने जो तेरे पास शान्ति देनेवाले भेजे हैं, वह क्या तेरी समझ में तेरे पिता का आदर करने के विचार से भेजे गए हैं? वह क्या दाऊद ने अपने कर्मचारियों को तेरे पास इसी विचार से नहीं भेजा कि इस नगर में ढूँढ़-ढाँढ़ करके और इसका भेद लेकर इसको उलट दे?”

In context

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

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

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

4So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

5When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
