ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૦:૫
આ બાબત તેઓએ દાઉદને જણાવી, ત્યારે તેણે તેઓને મળવા માટે માણસ મોકલ્યા, કેમ કે તે માણસો ઘણાં શરમાતા હતા. એટલે રાજાએ કહ્યું કે, તમારી દાઢી પાછી વધે ત્યાં સુધી તમે યરીખોમાં રહો અને પછીથી પાછા આવજો.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १०:५
इस घटना का समाचार पाकर दाऊद ने कुछ लोगों को उनसे मिलने के लिये भेजा, क्योंकि वे राजा के सामने आने से बहुत लजाते थे। और राजा ने यह कहा, “जब तक तुम्हारी दाढ़ियाँ बढ़ न जाएँ तब तक यरीहो में ठहरे रहो, फिर लौट आना।”

In context

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.”

6When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.

7When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
