6 When the Ammonites (tribal) realized that they had become a stench to David (beloved), they hired twenty thousand Aramean (exalted) foot soldiers from Beth-rehob (house of the street) and Zoba (station), as well as a thousand men from the king of Maacah (oppression) and twelve thousand men from Tob (good).

7 On hearing this, David (beloved) sent Joab (YHWH is father) and the entire army of mighty men.

8 The Ammonites (tribal) marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans (exalted) of Zobah (station) and Rehob (broad place) and the men of Tob (good) and Maacah (oppression) were by themselves in the open country.
