the Ammonite leaders said to Hanun, "Do you think David means to honor your father when he sends you messengers of sympathy? On the contrary he has sent them here as spies to explore the land, so that he can conquer it." (1 Chronicles 19, 3)
Hanun had David's servants seized, shaved their beards, cut their clothes half-way up to the hips and sent them away. (1 Chronicles 19, 4)
As soon as David was told what had happened to these men, he sent someone to meet them, for the men were too ashamed to return home. And he said, "Stay in Jericho, until your beards have grown again, and come back then." (1 Chronicles 19, 5)
The Ammonites saw that they had made David their enemy and so Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from the Aramaeans of Upper Mesopotamia, of Maacah and of Zobah. (1 Chronicles 19, 6)
When David heard this, he sent Joab with the whole army and the warriors. (1 Chronicles 19, 8)
News of this was brought to David, who gathered the Israelite troops, crossed the Jordan, and met them. David drew up his line of battle facing the Aramaeans, and the fighting began. (1 Chronicles 19, 17)
But the Aramaeans fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their chariot teams and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach, their general. (1 Chronicles 19, 18)
When the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. After this the Aramaeans refused to give help to the Ammonites. (1 Chronicles 19, 19)

David took the gold crown from the head of the Ammonite idol Milcom; they found that it weighed about seventy five pounds. In it was set a precious stone which made an ornament for David's head. He carried off a great quantity of loot from the town. (1 Chronicles 20, 2)
He brought away its population and set them to work with saws, iron picks and axes. David treated all the Ammonite towns in the same way. Then David and the whole army returned to Jerusalem. (1 Chronicles 20, 3)
He defied Israel and Jonathan, son of David's brother Shimea, killed him. (1 Chronicles 20, 7)
