Exegesis
The direct object is the infinitive clause elep̄ kikkār kesep̄ {אֶלֶף כִּכַּר־כֶּסֶף | elep̄ kikkār kesep̄} ‘a thousand talents of silver’, modified by the infinitive li-sḵôr {לִשְׂכֹּר | li-sḵôr} ‘to hire’ and the pronominal phrase lām {לָהֶם | lām} ‘for them’.
In context — 1 Chronicles 19:6
And the sons of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David , and Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen for themselves from Aram Naharayim, Aram Maakah, and Zobah.
