Hundred. Paralipomenon, thousand, allowing ten men for each chariot. (Du Hamel; Menochius) The men is omitted in both texts. See chap. viii. 4. (Haydock) Horsemen. Paralipomenon 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)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
