But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Pero los líderes amonitas le dijeron a Hanún: '¿De verdad crees que David está honrando a tu padre al enviar estos hombres para consolarte? ¿No han venido realmente sus siervos aquí para explorar nuestra tierra, encontrar nuestras debilidades y espiarnos para poder conquistarla?'
Los líderes amonitas desconfiaron de las intenciones de David y sospecharon que sus enviados eran espías.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical narrative of 1 Chronicles, King David of Israel sent messengers to Hanun, the son of the deceased king of Ammon, as a gesture of condolence after his father's death, reflecting David's policy of extending kindness to neighboring rulers. However, the Ammonite princes misinterpreted this act, suspecting that David's servants were spies sent to gather intelligence and plot an overthrow, which was rooted in the longstanding rivalries and mistrust between Israel and the Ammonites. This incident highlights the volatile relationships in the ancient Near East during the time of the united monarchy.
