6
When the children of `Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of `Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-Naharayim, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Tzovah.
7
So they hired them thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Ma`akhah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeva. The children of `Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8
When David heard of it, he sent Yo'av, and all the host of the mighty men.
9
The children of `Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10
Now when Yo'av saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Yisra'el, and put them in array against the Aram.
