1 Chronicles 19:2

sent messengers to comfort him A usual piece of international courtesy; cp. 2 Kings 20:12. Its breach was resented. In the Tellel-Amarna letters (x. 16) the king of Kardunias writes, "Should not my brother (i.e. the king of Egypt) have heard that I am sick? Why has he not comforted me? Why has he not sent his messenger, not looked into it?" (ed. H. Winckler, p. 23).
