J 2.Saml [Samuel]{Be of good Courage, and let us play {the Men for our People, and for 10:12 {the Cities of our God: and the Lord _______ {do that which seemeth him good. [flourish] In this Chapt [Chapter] we have an account of a peculiar War David had with the Ammonites, & Assyrians; & the Conquest he obtained over them. - The [?] of this War was somewhat singular; Nahash, King of the Amonites being dead; his son Hanun reigned in his Stead. Soon upon Hanun's ariving to the Throne David remembering some former Kindness, that his Father Nahash had shewn him, resolves to return the kindness to his Son. Accordingly he sends a Number of honourable Servts [Servants] to Hanun to console his Fathers Death, & to comfort him. But very unhappy for Hanun, he had a number of evil Minded Persons as his Counsellers & Ministers of State, who falsely suggested to him that David was not cordial, nor friendly to him in this thing; and they suggested to his Majesty that King David had rather sent his Servts [Servants] to search the City, to spy it out, & to overthrow it. And having persuaded King Hanun of this; he takes Davids Ambassadors and treats them with the utmost Indignity & Reproach. He shaves off the one Half of their beards & cut off their Garments to their Buttocks & sent them away. - This Conduct of Hanun made the Amonites stink in the Sight of David; whence we may see how very unhappy it is for a King to have evil Counsellors, and how wretched it soon makes him & his people
