The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
et congregavit nongentos falcatos currus, et omnem exercitum de Haroseth gentium ad torrentem Cison.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Σεισαρὰ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ, ἐννακόσια ἅρματα σιδηρᾶ, καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἀρείσωθ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεισών.
Hebrew (WLC)
וַיַּזְעֵ֨ק סִֽיסְרָ֜א אֶת כָּל רִכְבּ֗וֹ תְּשַׁ֤ע מֵאוֹת֙ רֶ֣כֶב בַּרְזֶ֔ל וְאֶת כָּל הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ מֵחֲרֹ֥שֶׁת הַגּוֹיִ֖ם אֶל נַ֥חַל קִישֽׁוֹן

Haydock's commentary

Cison. Part of this torrent falls into the Mediterranean, and part into the sea of Tiberias. It rises from Mount Thabor, (which is about two hours' walk, south-west of Nazareth) and from Gelboa, &c. (Menochius)

Here Sisara displayed his immense army, if we may credit Josephus, Jonathan, &c. But the Scripture only specifies 900 chariots of iron. (Calmet)

Whence, however, we may conclude that his horse and foot would be very formidable. Yet all were presently routed by the small company of Barac, who had God for his leader, ver. 14. (Haydock)
