He hired also one hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of
Israel
The ten tribes, judging his own army not sufficient for his expedition against the Edomites he was meditating:

for one hundred talents of silver ;
which amounted to 35,300 pounds sterling, and according to Beckius ^F5 were about five florins and a half to each soldier.
