And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
1 Chronicles 19:6 — KJV
Chariots and horsemen. It was a common practice in the ancient Orient to hire troops (2 Kings 7:6; 2 Chronicles 25:6). In this instance the kings of Syria readily responded to the call of Ammon, because they were anxious to curb the rising power of Israel.
Mesopotamia. Hebrew ’Aram naharayim, literally, “Aram of the two rivers.” This was the region of Padan-aram (see on Genesis 24:10). The parallel passage has Beth-rehob (2 Samuel 10:6).
