1 Kings 20:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 20:27

And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all
present
The same as before; the two hundred and thirty two young men of the princes of the provinces, and 7000 of the people, not one was missing:

and went against them;
out of Samaria, towards Aphek:

and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks
of kids:
being few and weak, the two hundred and thirty two young men in one body, and the 7000 in another:

but the Syrians filled the country:
with their men, their horses, and their chariots.

1 Kings 20:27 In-Context

26 In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to battle Israel.

28 Then the man of God approached and said to the king of Israel, "This is what the Lord says: 'Because the Arameans have said: The Lord is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys, I will hand over this entire immense horde to you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.' "

29 They camped opposite each other for seven days. On the seventh day, the battle took place, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans-100,000 foot soldiers in one day.
