With a host of a thousand thousand. ] A larger host than that of Xerxes. Josephus saith it consisted of nine hundred thousand foot, and one hundred thousand horse.

And three hundred chariots, ] sc., Falcatis et aeratis, armed with scythes, and other instruments of death.

And came unto Mareshah. ] The country of the prophet Micah, the Morasthite, in the tribe of Judah. Here, then, was Hannibal ad portas.
