But let us fight with them in the plain, and for what ye will, we shall have the better of them. 24 And this do: take the kings away every man out of his place, and put dukes in their rooms. 25 And do thou number thee a host, like the host that thou hast lost, and horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and let us fight with them in the plain; and for a wager, we get the better of them." And the king hearkened unto their voice and did even so.
