1 Chronicles 19:3

But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun , Do you think , because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father ? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land ?

the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Haven`t his envoys come to you only to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?”

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
