Commentary on 2 Chronicles 14:8

Theological / Devotional

Targets. Large shields (see on 2 Chron. 9:15; 1 Kings 10:16).

Three hundred thousand. Compare ch. 13:3. Probably this was not the size of Asa’s standing army but constituted the number of males in the nation, capable of bearing arms, who would be available in case of emergency.
