2 Chronicles 25:5-7
commanders ...... thousand .... commanders ........................ 300,000 <0505 08269> [A.M. 3177. B.C. 827. captains over thousands.]
twenty <06242> [from twenty.]
300,000 <07969> [three.]
100,000 ...... hundred talents ... silver <03603 03701 03967> [an hundred talents of silver.]
Estimating the shekel at 2s. 6d., and the talent, being 3,000 shekels, (see Ex 38:25, 26,) at 375Å“., one hundred talents would amount to 37,500Å“.; which, divided among 100,000 men, quotes only 7s. 6d.; hence we may suppose, that this was only an earnest of their pay, or that they expected to be enriched by the plunder of the Edomites.
