1 Chronicles19:7
7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots , and the king of Maachah and his people, who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battel.
i. e. 32000 Men fighting from or with Chariots, as that word is elsewhere used: of which see my Notes on 1 Sam. 13. 5. And this Interpretation seems the more probable by comparing this place with 2 Sam. 10. 6. where this Army is said to consist of 2000[illegible: 1+ letters] footmen, and 12000 men of Ishtob; which make up these 32000 men, who fought partly from Chariots, and partly on Foot with Chariots or attending upon the Chariots, as the Ancient Manner of fighting was. And here v. 6. this Army it made up of Chariots and Horsemen; where, except the chariots be understood, there were no Footmen in the Army, which is unusual and incredible.
