Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 10:6:
- Kupsabiny: “When the Ammonites realized that those words/things had pained David, they sent money to Arameans so that they would give them young men for war. Then twenty thousand Arameans who walked on foot came from the towns of Beth-rehob and Zobah. Other young men which reached to twelve thousand came from the town of Tob and the king of Maacah gave soldiers reaching to one thousand.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Now the Ammonites learned that in David’s eyes they had become hateful people. So they hired 20,000 Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zobah to help them. They [also] hired the king of Maacah with his army [of 1000] and 12,000 men from Tob.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The Ammonhon realized that they had-made- David very -angry. So they hired 20,000 Arameanhon soldiers who come-from/of-Bet Rehob and come-from/of-Zoba, 1,000 soldiers from the king of Maaca, and 12,000 soldiers from Tob.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Then the leaders of the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted David. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers from other nearby areas to help defend them. They hired 20,000 soldiers from the Beth-Rehob and Zobah regions northeast of Israel, and 12,000 soldiers from the Tob region, and 1,000 soldiers from the army of the king of Maacah region.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
