Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Entonces algunas personas fueron y le contaron a David lo que había pasado con sus hombres. Él envió mensajeros para encontrarse con ellos, porque los hombres estaban profundamente avergonzados y humillados. El rey les dijo: 'Quédense en Jericó hasta que sus barbas vuelvan a crecer, y entonces regresen a casa.'
David mostró compasión hacia sus embajadores humillados, permitiéndoles recuperar su dignidad antes de regresar.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of 1 Chronicles 19, King David sent messengers to the Ammonites to offer condolences after the death of their king, but they were humiliated by the Ammonite leader who shaved off half their beards and cut their garments as a sign of disrespect. This act was a profound insult in ancient Near Eastern culture, where a man's beard represented honor, manhood, and social status. David responded by instructing the messengers to stay in Jericho until their beards grew back, demonstrating his concern for their dignity and allowing time for their shame to subside.
