2 Samuel 8:4 (King James Version)
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
- from him
- or, of his. chariots.
- As 1 ; Ch 18:4 ; seven hundred. In the parallel place in Chronicles it is "seven thousand horsemen, a far more probable number. The letter [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot upon it stands for seven thousand, and the final letter Nwn,] {noon,} for seven hundred: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other, and so produce an error in this place.
- David houghed
- Deuteronomy 17:16 ; Joshua 11:6 Joshua 11:9 ; Psalms 20:7 ; Psalms 33:16 Psalms 33:17
