And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David [rather] sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

Commentary

Commentary on 2 Samuel 10:3

Theological / Devotional

Hath sent comforters. David had sent his envoys to Ammon with friendly intentions, but his motive was misjudged. Nahash was never a true friend of David, but showed kindness to him simply because he also was an enemy of Saul. The Ammonites hated the Hebrews and despised the worship of the true God. Now they could not understand the true spirit of kindness that prompted David to send his envoys. His best intentions were misconstrued, and a false coloring was placed upon his motives. The words of the Ammonite princes were untrue and were destined to create trouble.
