And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Kings. The prophet warns Ahab that Ben-hadad will return the following year. The Syrians interpret their previous defeat as resulting from Israel having gods of the mountains but not of the plains, yet the Lord again grants Israel victory to demonstrate that his power is not geographically limited. Afterwards Ahab spares Ben-hadad and makes a covenant with him. The problem is that the king treats as an ally someone whom God had delivered to judgment.

Und die Kinder Israel ordneten sich auch und versorgten sich und zogen hin ihnen entgegen und lagerten sich gegen sie wie zwei kleine Herden Ziegen. Der Syrer aber war das Land voll.
Y los hijos de Israel fueron también inspeccionados, y tomando provisiones fuéronles al encuentro; y asentaron campo lo hijos de Israel delante de ellos, como dos rebañuelos de cabras; y los Siros henchían la tierra.
Los israelitas fueron movilizados y recibieron provisiones, y salieron a su encuentro. Acamparon frente a ellos como dos pequeños rebaños de cabras, mientras los arameos llenaban la tierra.
Les enfants d'Israël furent aussi passés en revue; ils reçurent des vivres, et ils marchèrent à la rencontre des Syriens. Ils campèrent vis-à-vis d'eux, semblables à deux petits troupeaux de chèvres, tandis que les Syriens remplissaient le pays.
I figliuoli d’Israele fecero parimente la lor rassegna; e provvedutisi di vittuaglia, andarono incontro a’ Siri, e si accamparono dirimpetto a loro, e parevano due piccole gregge di capre; ma i Siri empievano la terra.
Também aos filhos de Israel se passou revista, e providos de víveres marcharam contra eles; e os filhos de Israel acamparam-se defronte deles, como dois pequenos rebanhos de cabras; mas os sírios enchiam a terra.
以色列 人也召集軍兵,預備食物,去迎戰 亞蘭 人。 以色列 人對著他們安營,好像兩小群的山羊; 亞蘭 人卻佈滿了地面。
