Scripture focus
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of [their] fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice [men, able] to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
2 Chronicles 25:5 — KJV
Gathered Judah together. Verses 5-13 discuss the military strength of the nation and an attack on Edom. For the most part this section is peculiar to Chronicles. In Kings the record of war with Edom constitutes a single verse (2 Kings 14:7).
Three hundred thousand. Compare this number with the total under Jehoshaphat (ch. 17:14-18), of probably 580,000 (see on ch. 17:14), and the 580,000 warriors of Asa (ch. 14:8). Undoubtedly the manpower of the nation had greatly declined during the disastrous wars of Jehoram and Joash (see chs. 21:8, 16; 24:23, 24).
