2 Samuel 18:1

And David numbered the people that were with him ,.... Which Josephus says F4 Antiqu. l. 7. c. 10. sect. 1. were four thousand; but one would think there should be more by what follows:

and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them ; he divided his army into companies, which consisted some of a thousand and others of a hundred; over each of which he set captains, to lead them on, direct, and command them in battle.
