Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 19:5
Then there went [certain], and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return.
5. Tarry at Jericho ] Thus (1) the feelings of the ambassadors would be spared, (2) the insult would be less widely known until it had been avenged.
