And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with the Spirit of God,
therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king. And he said unto him:
Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slew seven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?

And they were also rebuked by those men who had stood at the waters of Sebus and scattered the flocks
which belonged to the king, for they were angry with Ammon because of
the number which he had slain of their brethren at the waters of Sebus,
while defending the flocks of the king.

And it came to pass in the seventeenth year, in the latter
end of the year, the proclamation of Lachoneus had gone forth
throughout all the face of the land, and they had taken their horses,
and their chariots, and their cattle, and all their flocks,
and their herds, and their grain, and all their substance, and did
march forth by thousands and by tens of thousands, until they had all
gone forth to the place which had been appointed that they should gather
themselves together, to defend themselves against their enemies.
