1 Chronicles 19:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.

⁸ And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:

⁹ And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
