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
This takes place after the death of Nahash, king of the Ammonites, when David sent ambassadors to express sympathy to the new king Hanun. The Ammonites were a neighboring nation east of Israel who had been both allies and enemies at different times. Political paranoia and mistrust between nations was common in the ancient Near East, where diplomatic missions could sometimes be covers for intelligence gathering.
