Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 32:2

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Gods host : and he called the name of that place Mahanaim .

So the Angels are justly called for their great number, Dan. 7. 10. Luk. 2. 13. excellent order, mighty power, and for their use and service to God, and to his Church, for whose protection they are sent. See 2 King. 6. 17. Psal. 34. 7.

(i. e.) Two hosts, so called, either because the Angels divided themselves into two companies, and placed themselves some before, others behind him, or some on each side of him for his greater comfort and security: or, because the Angels made one host, and his family another.

Marginal references: That is, two hosts or camps.
