  • Kupsabiny: “Ahab also gathered his soldiers and gave (them) enough weapons to go and fight the soldiers of Syria. The soldiers of Syria were very many surpassing those of Israel.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The Israelites also took weapons and assembled. All of them were provided with food. Then dividing into two groups they went to fight with them. The Israelites set up their camp facing them. As for the Arameans, the Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats. The Arameans, however, were spread out, filling the plain.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The Israelinhon also gathered and prepared their needs, and then they went-out to fight-against the Arameanhon. They camped facing the camp of the Arameanhon. But they were just like two small flocks of goats compared to the Arameanhon who covered the plains/valleys.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The Israeli army was also gathered together, and they were equipped with the things that they needed for the battle. Then they marched out and formed two groups facing the Syrian army. Their army was very small; they resembled two small flocks of goats, whereas the Syrian army was very large and spread all over the countryside.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
