sehingga mereka itu mengupah bagi dirinya tiga puluh dua ribu rata perang dan lagi raja Maakha serta dengan segala rakyatnya, maka datanglah mereka itu, lalu didirikannyalah kemah-kemahnya pada sebelah timur Medeba, maka segala bani Ammonpun dikerahkanlah, lalu datanglah mereka itu sekalian kepada peperangan itu.

hired: 1 Chronicles 18:4, Exodus 14:9, Judges 4:3, 1 Samuel 13:5, 2 Chronicles 14:9, Psalms 20:7-9

thirty: Thirty-two thousand soldiers, exclusive of the thousand sent by the king of Maachah, are mentioned in the parallel passage - 2 Samuel 10:6, but of chariots or cavalry there is no mention; and the number of chariots stated here is prodigious, and beyond all credibility. But as the word raichev denotes not only a chariot, but a rider (see Isaiah 21:7), it ought most probably to be rendered here, in a collective sense, cavalry; and then the number of troops will exactly agree with the passage in Samuel. It is probable that they were a kind of auxiliary troops who were usually mounted on horses, or in chariots, but who occasionally served as foot-soldiers.

the king of Maachah: This variation exists only in the translation, the original being the same in both places, melech maachah, "the king of Maachah." 2 Samuel 10:6, king Maachah

Medeba: Numbers 21:30, Joshua 13:9, Isaiah 15:2

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 10:8 - at the entering

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They hired thirty and two thousand chariots - The reading is corrupt. Such a number as 32,000 chariots alone was never brought into battle on any occasion. Compare the numbers in Exodus 14:7; 1 Kings 10:26; 2 Chronicles 12:3. The largest force which an Assyrian king ever speaks of encountering is 3,940. The words “and horsemen” have probably fallen out of the text after the word “chariots” (compare 1 Chronicles 19:6). The 32,000 would be the number of the warriors serving on horseback or in chariots; and this number would agree closely with 2 Samuel 10:6, as the following table shows:

2 Samuel 10:6	Men
Syrians of Beth-rehob and Zobah	20,000
Syrians of Ish-tob	12,000
Syrians of Maachah	1,000
Total	33,000
1 Chronicles 19:7	Men
Syrians of Zobah, etc.	32,000
Syrians of Machah ( number not given)	1,000
Total	33,000

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 19:7. Thirty and two thousand — The whole number mentioned in Samuel is, Syrians, of Beth-rehob, and of Zoba, twenty thousand; of King Maacah, one thousand; of Ish-tob, twelve thousand; in all thirty-three thousand. Of chariots or cavalry there is no mention. These could not have been the whole army.
