Exegesis
The payment formula appears in bemeah kikar-kaseph {בְּמֵאָ֥ה כִּכַּר-כָּֽסֶף | bə-mē-ʾāh kikar-kā-sep}, where kikar-kaseph ‘talent of silver’ represents a large weight-currency unit. The English renderings preserve Hebrew word order and highlight the numerical precision, military designation, and economic detail.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:6
And he hired from Israel one hundred thousand mighty men of valor for a hundred talents of silver .
