'Troops' in the Bible

When Sihon and all his troops emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz,

When you go to war against your enemies and see chariotry and troops who outnumber you, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

{And then} when you approach the battle, then the priest shall come near and speak to the troops.

Moreover, the officers are to say to the troops, "Who among you has built a new house and not dedicated it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else dedicate it.

In addition, the officers are to say to the troops, "Who among you is afraid and fainthearted? He may go home so that he will not make his fellow soldier's heart as fearful as his own."

"When the officials have finished speaking to the army, they must appoint officers to lead the troops."
