1 Chronicles 19:5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ and they departed. When David was told concerning the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, “Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return.”

⁶ When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent 1,000 talents^[a] of silver to hire chariots and horsemen ^(A)from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah, and from ^(B)Zobah. ⁷ They hired 32,000 chariots and the king of Maacah with his army, who came and encamped before ^(C)Medeba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle.
