Josué 11:4

Listen to Josué 11:4
4 Todos ellos salieron con sus ejércitos, caballos y carros de guerra. Eran tan numerosos que parecían arena a la orilla del mar.

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 También llamó a los reyes de la región montañosa del norte; a los de la región al sur del lago Quinéret; a los de los valles, y a los de Nafot Dor, al occidente.
3 Llamó además a los cananeos de oriente y occidente, a los amorreos, a los hititas, a los ferezeos, a los jebuseos de las montañas y a los heveos que viven en las laderas del monte Hermón en Mizpa.
4 Todos ellos salieron con sus ejércitos, caballos y carros de guerra. Eran tan numerosos que parecían arena a la orilla del mar.
5 Formaron un solo ejército y acamparon junto a las aguas de Merón para pelear contra Israel.
6 Entonces el SEÑOR le dijo a Josué: «No les tengas miedo, porque mañana, a esta hora, yo le entregaré muerto a Israel todo ese ejército. Ustedes, por su parte, deberán desjarretar sus caballos e incendiar sus carros de guerra».
