1Ch 19:16-19 | JFB | STEP | 16. And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel-- (See on ).

‏ 1 Chronicles 19:16-19

16. And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel--(See on 2Sa 10:15-19).

18. David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men--(Compare 2Sa 10:18, which has seven hundred chariots). Either the text in one of the books is corrupt [Keil, Davidson], or the accounts must be combined, giving this result--seven thousand horsemen, seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen [Kennicott, Houbigant, Calmet].
