Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el-eretz {אֶל־אֶרֶץ | ʾel-ʾěreṣ} ‘to the land’ frames their destination, and the repeated lenachamo reinforces the mission’s intent. This maintains Hebrew narrative order while clarifying causal and sequential relations in English.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:2
And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed me kindness.” Then David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. The servants of David went to the land of the Ammonites to comfort Hanun.
