1 Chronicles 19:6
1 Chronicles 19:6 is verse 6 of 1 Chronicles chapter 19, shown here in the Berean Standard Bible.
Berean Standard Bible
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Aram-naharaim, Aram-maacah, and Zobah.
1,000 talents is approximately 37.7 tons or 34.2 metric tons of silver.
That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia.
King James Version
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
World English Bible
When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds, so 1000 talents is about 30 metric tons
