And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.

They gathered all that were able to put on armour х mikol (H3605) chogeer (H2296) chªgoraah (H2290) waama`ªlaah (H4605), they came together of all who girded on a girdle, and upward - i:e., who were capable of bearing arms. The Septuagint (Alexandrine) renders the Hebrew literally, kai anebeesan ek pantos periezoosmenoi zooneen kai epanoo; but the Vatican edition has deviated in a strange manner, kai aneboeesan ek pantos periezoosmenoi zooneen kai eipon, Oo, and they cried out ... and said, Oh!]
