David, entonces, dijo: «Voy a brindarle mi amistad a Janún en reconocimiento de todas las bondades que su padre Najás tuvo conmigo». Así que envió un mensaje de condolencia a Janún por la muerte de su padre. Pero cuando llegaron los embajadores de David, los consejeros amonitas le dijeron al rey Janún: «Su Majestad, no se deje engañar, pues David no ha enviado a estos hombres para darle el pésame por la muerte de su padre. ¡En realidad, los ha enviado para que exploren el país, para después venir y destruirlo!».
