One of King David’s main missions was to help usher in times of peace for Israel. He is credited with defeating many of Israel’s enemies. In 1 Chronicles 19, we read about how he dealt with the nation of Ammon. David was at peace with Ammon, but after their king died and the king’s son reigned in his place that all changed. David sent ambassadors to the new king to express
condolences and friendship, but King Hanun did not see this as a friendly gesture. In an act of defiance, Hanun humiliated David’s messengers and sent them home. David allowed his messengers to recover in privacy, while Ammon began recruiting troops. A war was brewing. David sent Joab, head of his military, to deal with King Hanum. Something that David had
meant for good had been twisted into a war, a war that Israel would come out on top of.
