¹⁷ And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the battle to meet Aram, and they fight with him;

⁹ and the sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come `are' by themselves in the field.

⁶ And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men -- horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.

⁷ And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.
