2 Chronicles 25:6 (King James Version)
He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.

an hundred talents of silver: Estimating the shekel at 2s; 6d., and the talent, being 2 Chronicles 25:3 2 Chronicles 25:000 ; shekels, (see Exodus 38:25 ,26,) at 375., one hundred talents would amount to 37,500.; which, divided among Exodus 38:100 Exodus 38:000 ; men, quotes only 7s; 6d.; hence we may suppose, that this was only an earnest of their pay, or that they expected to be enriched by the plunder of the Edomites.
