Et fais ceci: ôte les rois chacun de sa place, et mets en leur lieu des capitaines;
Fais encore ceci: ôte chacun des rois de son poste, et remplace-les par des chefs;
Fais donc ceci : Ote chacun de ces Rois de leur place, et mets en leur lieu des capitaines.

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 19:9 - the kings
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And do this thing,.... Also take this further piece of advice:
take the kings away, every man out of his place: for being brought up delicately, they were not inured to war, nor expert in the art of it; and being addicted to pleasure, gave themselves to that, and drew the king into it, which they observed was the case before, though they did not care to mention it; and if they were tributaries or allies, they would not fight as men do for their own country:
and put captains in their rooms; of his own people, men of skill and courage, and who would fight both for their own honour, and for the good of their country.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Syrian chiefs evidently thought that want of unity had weakened their army. They therefore proposed the deposition of the kings, and the substitution, in their place, of Syrian governors: not “captains.” The term used always denotes a civil office.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 24. Take the kings away — These were not acquainted with military affairs, or they had not competent skill. Put experienced captains in their place, and fight not but on the plains, and you will be sure of victory.
