the summe of the number] 1100000. of Israel, able men; from twenty years old, and upwards. To the 800000. in 2 Sam. XXIV. 9. seeme to be added here those 288000. of Davids Trained Bands, 1 Chron. XXVII. 1,—15. already enrolled, in publick records. And their Colonels, Captains, Commanders, and Officers, to the number likely of 12000. which make up the said 1100000. To the 470000 of Judah are 30000. added more, in 2 Sam. XXIV. 9. which addition either might be the number of the Regiments under those thirty Worthies of David, having one thousand in each: Or rather an Addition of so many out of Jerusalem only, or out of Levi, and Benjamin also (which still joyned themselves to Judah) after Joabs first return to Jerusalem, and giving up his number to the King. For he was weary of the service, it being abominable to him; and therefore he is said, not to count Levi and Benjamin; and to begin to number, but not to finish it, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the Chronicles of King David, 1 Chron. XXI. 6. and XXVII. 24. In all, 1600000. neither yet took he the number from twenty years old and under, 1 Chron. XXVII. 23.
