Why were David's servants mistreated?

In the narrative of 2 Samuel 10, David's servants were sent to bring comfort to Hanun, yet they were maligned and mistreated by the Ammonites who suspected foul motives. This incident illustrates a broader theme of how the Gospel messengers are often met with suspicion and hostility, mirroring the treatment of Christ's followers throughout history. The mistreatment serves as a reminder that sharing the message of grace can bring challenges but demonstrates the ongoing conflict between the kingdom of God and the world.
