2 Chronicles25:13
13 But the souldiers of the army which Amamaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battel, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon , and smote three thousand of them , and took much spoil.
To wit, Beth-horon the Lower, which was in the Tribe of Benjamin; and from thence to Samaria, either 1. to the City of Samaria; for the Kings of Judah had taken divers Places within the Kingdom of Israel. Or, 2. To the Kingdom of Samaria: Beth-horon and all other Places between that City and their own Kingdom▪
i. e. Killed, as that word is generally understood.
Not 3000 Cities, but 3000 Persons dwelling in them▪ who possibly opposed them in taking the Spoil, which was the Thing they sought.
Marginal references: Heb. the sons of the band.
