And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth–rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish–tob twelve thousand men.
Men da Ammoniterne så, at de havde lagt sig for Had hos David, sendte de Bud og lejede Aramæerne fra Bef-Rehob og Zoba, 20000 Mand Fodfolk, Kongen af Ma'aka med 1000 Mand og Folkene fra Tob, 12000 Mand.
