1 Chronicles 19:4-6

4So Hanun seized David’s envoys, shaved them, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away.

5When someone came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.” 6When the Ammonites realized that they had become obnoxious to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents That is, about 38 tons or about 34 metric tons of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim, That is, Northwest Mesopotamia Aram Maakah and Zobah.
