ExplanationCommentary
Verse 18. Hundred. Paral. thousand, allowing ten men for each chariot. D. Menochius.—The men is omitted in both texts. See Calmet. 8:4. Bible.—Horsemen. Paral. reads, footmen, supplying what is here omitted, (Salien) so that 87,000 Syrians perished, unless there be a mistake of the transcribers. Calmet.—Smote, though not perhaps with his own hand, as he slew so many thousands by means of his army. Menochius.
