13,14; Ps 18:32; 33:16; 46:11
seven thousand.In the parallel passage, "the men of seven hundred chariots;" which difference probably arose from mistaking [Nûwn,] {noon final}, which stands for 700, for [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot above, which denotes 7,000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.
footmen.If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of dismounted cavalry, the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them.
2Sa 10:18
horsemen.
