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

Verse 4 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Samuel. David attempts to show kindness to Hanun after his father’s death, but the Ammonite advisers interpret the Israelite messengers as spies and publicly humiliate them. The episode shows how a peace initiative can be transformed into conflict through suspicion and misunderstanding. David responds by protecting the dignity of his envoys and waits for the humiliation to pass before they return to Jerusalem.
