seven hundred
2 Samuel 10:18
10:18 seven hundred. The parallel account of the same battle between David and the Syrians in I Chronicles 19:18 says that “David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots.” One explanation for this apparent discrepancy is a copyist’s error. The Hebrew characters for seven hundred and seven thousand are very easy to interchange. But see note for II Samuel 8:4. Also, some have said that each chariot may have carried ten men.
