וַיֹּאמְרוּ שָׂרֵי בְנֵֽי ־ עַמּוֹן אֶל ־ חָנוּן אֲדֹֽנֵיהֶם הַֽמְכַבֵּד דָּוִד אֶת ־ אָבִיךָ בְּעֵינֶיךָ כִּֽי ־ שָׁלַח לְךָ מְנַֽחֲמִים הֲלוֹא בַּעֲבוּר חֲקוֹר אֶת ־ הָעִיר וּלְרַגְּלָהּ וּלְהָפְכָהּ שָׁלַח דָּוִד אֶת ־ עֲבָדָיו אֵלֶֽיךָ ׃

Hebrew Tanakh (Original)

In The King James Version

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?
