2 Kings 10:19
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Videntes autem universi reges qui erant in præsidio Adarezer, se victos esse ab Israël, expaverunt, et fugerunt quinquaginta et octo millia coram Israël. Et fecerunt pacem cum Israël, et servierunt eis : timueruntque Syri auxilium præbere ultra filiis Ammon.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ εἶδαν πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ δοῦλοι Ἁδραάζαρ ὅτι ἔπταισαν ἔμπροσθεν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ηὐτομόλησαν μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐφοβήθη Συρία τοῦ σῶσαι ἔτι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών.

Haydock's commentary
Before Israel. Hebrew and Septuagint only read, "And when all the kings, servants of Adarezer, saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them," &c. (Haydock)
The addition is not found in the ancient version of St. Jerome. These tributary kings lived in Syria, and some perhaps beyond the Euphrates. See Psalm lix. (Calmet)
The army had consisted of 145,000 men. After the loss of 87,000, the servants of Adarezer went over to David, and served him, Paralipomenon. (Menochius)
