Josué 11:4

Listen to Josué 11:4
4 Y salieron ellos, y todos sus ejércitos con ellos, tanta gente como la arena que está a la orilla del mar, con muchísimos caballos y carros.

Josué 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 11:4

And they went out
The several kings and people sent to; these went out from the places they inhabited:

they and all their hosts with them;
the kings of those several places, with their armies:

much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the seashore in multitude;
a proverbial expression, to denote an exceeding great number:

with horses and chariots very many;
being supplied with horses from Egypt, and their chariots were chariots of iron; see ( Judges 4:3 ) ; Josephus F26 gives us the number of this great army, and says it consisted of three hundred thousand footmen, ten thousand horse, and thirty thousand chariots; some copies read only twenty thousand; and these chariots were armed with iron hooks or scythes, to cut down men as they drove along, and so were very terrible.

Josué 11:4 In-Context

2 y a los reyes que estaban al norte en la región montañosa, en el Arabá al sur de Cineret , y en las tierras bajas y en las alturas de Dor al occidente;
3 al cananeo que estaba al oriente y al occidente, al amorreo, al heteo, al ferezeo y al jebuseo en la región montañosa, y al heveo al pie del Hermón en la tierra de Mizpa.
4 Y salieron ellos, y todos sus ejércitos con ellos, tanta gente como la arena que está a la orilla del mar, con muchísimos caballos y carros.
5 Así que todos estos reyes, habiendo acordado unirse, vinieron y acamparon juntos cerca de las aguas de Merom para pelear contra Israel.
6 Entonces dijo el SEÑOR a Josué: No temas a causa de ellos, porque mañana a esta hora yo entregaré a todos ellos muertos delante de Israel; desjarretarás sus caballos y quemarás sus carros a fuego.
