2 Chronicles 25:5 - Exposition

This and the following five verses are entirely omitted in the parallel, which contents itself with giving in its 2 Chronicles 25:7 , in fewer words, but with the supplement of other matter, what is contained in our 2 Chronicles 25:11 . Found them three hundred thousand . Compare Asa's "five hundred and eighty thousand" ( 2 Chronicles 14:8 ), and Jehoshaphat's "eleven hundred and sixty thousand" ( 2 Chronicles 17:14-19 ; see note, however, on these verses, and the improbability of numbers so high ) . The Hebrew text of the second clause of this verse simply says, "he set them" ( יַעֲמִידֵם ), or placed them according to … fathers' houses , under captains, etc; glancing most naturally at Nu 1:2-2:34.
