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)
