2 SAMUEL 10:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth–rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish–tob twelve thousand men.”
When David was told what had happened, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, 'Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return' - David's compassion toward his humiliated servants shows his care. The command to wait in Jericho until their beards grow acknowledges their shame and provides dignity-recovery time.
