2 Samuel 10 1-2 Samuel 10 6
Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun became king in his place.Then David said,“ I’ll show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent his emissaries to console Hanun concerning his father. However, when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,the Ammonite leaders said to Hanun their lord,“ Just because David has sent men with condolences for you, do you really believe he’s showing respect for your father? Instead, hasn’t David sent his emissaries in order to scout out the city, spy on it, and demolish it?”So Hanun took David’s emissaries, shaved off half their beards, cut their clothes in half at the hips, and sent them away.When this was reported to David, he sent someone to meet them, since they were deeply humiliated. The king said,“ Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.”When the Ammonites realized they had become repulsive to David, they hired twenty thousand foot soldiers from the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, one thousand men from the king of Maacah, and twelve thousand men from Tob.

All the men of Jabesh said to him,“ Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”Nahash the Ammonite replied,“ I’ll make one with you on this condition: that I gouge out everyone’s right eye and humiliate all Israel.”“ Don’t do anything to us for seven days,” the elders of Jabesh said to him,“ and let us send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. If no one saves us, we will surrender to you.”

Jeremiah 49:1-6
About the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: Does Israel have no sons? Is he without an heir? Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad and his people settled in their cities?Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will make the shout of battle heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a desolate mound, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Israel will dispossess their dispossessors, says the LORD.Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated; cry out, daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; run back and forth within your walls, because Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.Why do you boast about your valleys, your flowing valley, you faithless daughter— you who trust in your treasures and say,“ Who can attack me?”Look, I am about to bring terror on you— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD of Armies— from all those around you. You will be banished, each person headlong, with no one to gather up the fugitives.But after that, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This is the LORD’s declaration.

Smooth lips with an evil heart are like glaze on an earthen vessel.A hateful person disguises himself with his speech and harbors deceit within.When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him, for there are seven detestable things in his heart.Though his hatred is concealed by deception, his evil will be revealed in the assembly.

Ezekiel 25:2-6
“ Son of man, face the Ammonites and prophesy against them.Say to the Ammonites,‘ Hear the word of the Lord GOD: This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you said,“ Aha!” about my sanctuary when it was desecrated, about the land of Israel when it was laid waste, and about the house of Judah when they went into exile,therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and Ammon a resting place for sheep. Then you will know that I am the LORD.“‘ For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced over the land of Israel with wholehearted contempt,
