1 Chronicles 19:6

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

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 Aram-naharaim, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver (note: 1,000 talents is approximately 37.7 tons or 34.2 metric tons of silver.) to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim (note: That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia.), Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
