Some time later, Nahash king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son.

And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.”So David sent messengers to console Hanun concerning his father. But when David’s servants arrived in the land of the Ammonites to console him,

Eshton was the father of Beth-rapha, of Paseah, and of Tehinnah the father of Ir-nahash. These were the men of Recah.

Soon Nahash the Ammonite came up and laid siege to Jabesh-gilead. All the men of Jabesh said to him, “Make a treaty with us, and we will serve you.”

But Nahash the Ammonite replied, “I will make a treaty with you on one condition, that I may put out everyone’s right eye and bring reproach upon all Israel.”
