19:6

וַיִּרְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן כִּי הִֽתְבָּאֲשׁוּ עִם־דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁלַח חָנוּן וּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן אֶלֶף כִּכַּר־כֶּסֶף לִשְׂכֹּר לָהֶם מִן־אֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם וּמִן־אֲרַם מַֽעֲכָה וּמִצּוֹבָה רֶכֶב וּפָרָשִֽׁים׃

And when the children of ῾Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Ḥanun and the children of ῾Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharayim, and out of Aram-ma῾akha, and out of Żova.

Rashi

מן ארם נהרים ומן ארם מעכה. ארמים הרבה היו וזהו ארם מעכה ארם היושבים במעכה ומן ארמים יושבים על נהר פרת וארם צובה וארם סתם הוא ועיקר האומה וכן עמונים היושבים בעמון קרוים עמונים ועיקר האומה בשאר מקומות וכן בני עשו בארץ שעיר באדום:

19:7

וַיִּשְׂכְּרוּ לָהֶם שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְאֶת־מֶלֶךְ מַֽעֲכָה וְאֶת־עַמּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ לִפְנֵי מֵֽידְבָא {ס}        וּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן נֶֽאֶסְפוּ מֵעָרֵיהֶם וַיָּבֹאוּ לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ {ס}        

So they hired thirty two thousand chariots, and the king of Ma῾akha and his people; who came and encamped before Medeva. And the children of ῾Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
