1 Chronicles 19:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ It was reported to David about his men, so he sent messengers to meet them, since the men were deeply humiliated. The king said, ‘Stay in Jericho until your beards grow back; then return.’

⁶ When the Ammonites realised^(A) they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent thirty-five tonnes^[a] of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.^{(B) 7} They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah with his army, who came and camped near Medeba.^(C) The Ammonites also came together from their cities for the battle.
