- 1 Samuel 13:5
Now the Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 13:52 voices
7. Above, King Saul is described as having chosen three thousand men for himself. If, therefore, we wish to compare the forces of each army, against each one of Saul's men, ten chariots and two horsemen of the Philistines are assigned. For ten times three thousand is thirty thousand. In the number six as well, three is doubled. By this battle, indeed, both the multitude and the ferocity of hidden enemies is signified.

- 1 Samuel 30:17
And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:172 voices
And David smote them, etc. Christ smites heretics in two ways: either by chastising them to receive the faith or by anathematizing them to endure eternal punishment. Both of these forms of smiting extend from evening to evening, because they reach from the recognition of …
Bede· Commentary on Samuel, 735Patristic
The poor and the feeble, the blind and the lame, are called and come because the weak and the despised in this world are often quicker to hear the voice of God, as in this world they have nothing to delight them.The Egyptian servant of the Amalekites is a good example of this. When the Amalekites were plundering and moving about, he was left behind on the road sick and fainting from hunger and thirst.

- 2 Samuel 8:4
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 8:42 voices
The history of the Kings [Samuel] recounts that David won these victories after he succeeded Saul in the kingship, and it seems inappropriate to introduce them into our ordered arrangement here since they are known to be recounted extensively there. But we must realize that …

- 1 Kings 4:26
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his chariot horses and 12,000 horses.
Commentary on 1 Kings 4:262 voices
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls for horses,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses - and twelve thousand horsemen - In 2Ch 9:25, instead of forty thousand stalls, we read four thousand; and even this number might be quite sufficient to hold horses for twelve thousand horsemen; for stalls and stables may be here synonymous. In 1Ki 10:26 it is said he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and this is the reading in 2Ch 1:

- 2 Chronicles 8:6
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 8:61 voice
And Baalath,.... See 1Ki 9:18. From hence, to the end of 2Ch 8:11, it is the same with 1Ki 9:19. See Gill on 1Ki 9:19. 1Ki 9:20. 1Ki 9:21. 1Ki 9:22. 1Ki 9:23. 1Ki 9:24.

- 2 Chronicles 9:25
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 9:251 voice
Four thousand stalls for horses - See the note on 1Ki 4:26, where the different numbers in these two books are considered. The Targum, instead of four thousand, has ארבע מאה arba meah, four hundred.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- 2 Chronicles 12:3
with 1,200 chariots, 60,000 horsemen, and countless troops who came with him out of Egypt—Libyans, Sukkites, and Cushites.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 12:32 voices
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
twelve hundred chariots - This number is not unusnal (compare Exo 14:7; 1Ki 10:26). Benhadad brought 1,200 chariots into the field against Shalmaneser II; and Ahabhad at the same time a force of 2,000 chariots (compare the 1Ki 20:1 note). The Lubims or Libyans Dan 11:43, were a people of Africa, distinct from the Egyptians and the Ethiopians dwelling in their immediate neighborhood. They were called Ribu or Libu by the Egyptians. See Gen 10:13. Sukkiims - This name does not occur elsewhere.

- Isaiah 30:16
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
Commentary on Isaiah 30:161 voice
Second, their contempt: but have said: no. Therefore shall you flee: these are the words of the Lord. One way may we go out (Deut 28:25); and we will mount upon swift ones: the voice of the rebellious people; therefore shall they be swifter: the …

- Isaiah 31:1
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
Commentary on Isaiah 31:11 voice
(Chapter 31, verses 1 onwards) Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord. Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He will rise up against the wicked nation, against those who help evildoers.
Jerome· Commentary on Isaiah, 420Patristic
- Jeremiah 4:29
Every city flees at the sound of the horseman and archer. They enter the thickets and climb among the rocks. Every city is abandoned; no inhabitant is left.
Commentary on Jeremiah 4:291 voice
(Verse 29.) At the sound of the horseman, and of him who sends forth the arrow (or bends the bow), every city (or region) flees. They have entered the heights and climbed the rocks. And what follows: They have entered the thickets, or caves, which the Seventy have added. But the divine word describes the raging army of Babylon, how at its trembling the entire people have abandoned the city, and have climbed the heights; and yet they could not escape the wrath of the Lord.

And they shall be as mighty men,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
(Verse 3 and following) My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the goats; for the Lord of hosts will visit his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like his majestic horse in battle. From him comes the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the bow of battle; from him every oppressor comes forth together, and they shall be like mighty warriors trampling the mud of the streets in battle. They will fight, for the Lord is with them.
Jerome· Commentary on Zechariah, 420Patristic
- Revelation 9:16–18
And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
Commentary on Revelation 9:16–182 voices
When this happened, they went out with an innumerable "cavalry" force. And he says this is the invincible power of the divine angels, accompanied by the greatest cavalry; and he says he saw those sitting on the "horses" wearing fiery, "hyacinth", and divine "breastplates".
Oecumenius· Commentary on Revelation, 550Patristic
And the number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. This number designates the deceptive duplicity of the perverse army. Which another translation, saying "twice ten thousand times ten thousand," can be more easily understood; and this number is also opposed by the evangelical …
