When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Cuando David se enteró de lo que les había pasado, envió mensajeros para encontrarlos, porque los hombres estaban profundamente humillados. El rey les dijo: 'Quédense en Jericó hasta que les crezcan las barbas, y entonces regresen a casa.'
David mostró compasión hacia sus embajadores humillados, permitiéndoles quedarse en Jericó hasta recuperar su dignidad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 2 Samuel, King David sent messengers to the Ammonites to express sympathy after the death of their king, as a gesture of goodwill. However, the Ammonite king, Hanun, wrongly suspected them of being spies and humiliated them by shaving off half their beards and cutting their garments, an act that was deeply shameful in ancient Near Eastern culture. David responded with compassion, instructing the men to wait in Jericho until their beards grew back to avoid further public embarrassment.
