And David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.3 The princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?” 4 Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.5 When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed.

READ: JEREMIAH 5:66 A lion from the forest shall slay them, A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them; A leopard will watch over their cities. Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces, Because their transgressions are many; Their backslidings have increased. NKJV




READ: JEREMIAH 15:3-43 “I will appoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the LORD: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.”4 “I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.” NKJV




READ: EZEKIEL 25:8-118 Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because Moab and Seir say, Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,”9 “Therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim.”10 “To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.”11 “I will execute judgments upon Moab and they shall know that I am the LORD.” NKJV
