'Hired' in the Bible

And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.

Then he went to the king and said, “Your servant has just hired sheepshearers. Will the king and his servants please come with your servant?”
