Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - Seven thousand men which fought in chariots. The parallel passage has the men of seven hundred chariots. There could not be ten fighting men to a chariot. The reading of Samuel is more likely to be correct than our present reading. Forty thousand footmen. The parallel place shows "horsemen."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) Seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen.--Heb., seven thousand chariotry (rekeb), &c. Samuel reads, "seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horse-men." Such deviations seem to indicate independent sources. We can hardly choose between the two accounts; but "horsemen" may be more correct than "footmen." (See 1Chronicles 18:4-5.)And killed Shophach . . .--Abridged statement. (Comp. 2Samuel 10:18.)
