2 Samuel 18:1
And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
And David numbered the people that were with him,.... Which Josephus says {d} were four thousand; but one would think there should be more by what follows:
and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them; he divided his army into companies, which consisted some of a thousand and others of a hundred; over each of which he set captains, to lead them on, direct, and command them in battle.
