1 Chronicles 19:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ When the Ammonites saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Mesopota′mia, from Aram-ma′acah, and from Zobah. ⁷ They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Ma′acah with his army, who came and encamped before Med′eba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle. ⁸ When David heard of it, he sent Jo′ab and all the army of the mighty men.
