The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Dixitque David : Faciam misericordiam cum Hanon filio Naas, sicut fecit pater ejus mecum misericordiam. Misit ergo David, consolans eum per servos suos super patris interitu. Cum autem venissent servi David in terram filiorum Ammon,
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ εἶπεν Δαυείδ Ποιήσω ἔλεος μετὰ Ἁννὼν υἱοῦ Ναάς, ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἔλεος· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δαυεὶδ παρακαλέσαι αὐτὸν ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ παῖδες Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὴν γῆν υἱῶν Ἀμμών.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד אֶעֱשֶׂה חֶ֣סֶד עִם חָנ֣וּן בֶּן נָחָ֗שׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ עָשָׂ֨ה אָבִ֤יו עִמָּדִי֙ חֶ֔סֶד וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח דָּוִ֧ד לְנַחֲמ֛וֹ בְּיַד עֲבָדָ֖יו אֶל אָבִ֑יו וַיָּבֹ֨אוּ֙ עַבְדֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד אֶ֖רֶץ בְּנֵ֥י עַמּֽוֹן

Haydock's commentary

Naas, whom Saul had defeated, and who on that account is supposed to have received his rival more willingly, (Calmet) when he had retreated into the country of Moab, 1 Kings xxii. 3. After receiving many presents from Naas, he retired to Odollam. (St. Jerome, Tradit.) (Menochius)

Though the Israelites were not to seek the friendship of these nations, (Deuteronomy xxiii. 6,) they were not forbidden to make a return of gratitude. (Menochius)
