Commentary on 1 Chronicles 19:18

Theological / Devotional

Seven thousand. In 2 Samuel 10:18 the number is given as 700. It is impossible to determine which number is correct. The LXX and the Hebrew agree.

Forty thousand footmen. David gained a tremendous victory. The number of those slain in this engagement was larger than the total forces of the Syrian allies in the previous engagement.
