10:5
David learnt of what had happened, He sent out messengers to the envoys, and told them to stay at Jericho until their beards had grown back. The problem with the clothes could be easily dealt with. David was seeking to spare the men further humiliation.

Anyway, they hire various mercenaries ready to deal with Israel.
