Contextual Overview

10Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. 11Some of the Philistines brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat; the Arabians also brought him flocks: 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats. 12So Jehoshaphat became greater and greater. He built fortresses and storage cities in Judah. 13He had large supplies in the cities of Judah, and soldiers, courageous men, in Jerusalem. 14This was the number of them by their fathers' (ancestors') households: of Judah, the commanders of thousands, Adnah the commander, and with him 300,000 courageous men; 15and next to him was Jehohanan the commander, and with him 280,000;16and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who volunteered for the LORD, and with him 200,000 courageous men; 17and of Benjamin: Eliada, a brave man, and with him 200,000 men armed with bow and shield; 18and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 armed and ready for military service. 19These are the ones who were in the service of the king, besides those he had placed in fortified cities throughout Judah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And next to him was Jehohanan the captain,.... Being of the same rank as to office, but having a lesser number of men under him; and it may respect not any kind of subordination, only nearness of place, as the Targum,

"he that encamped next to him''

and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand; which number was but 20,000 less than the former.
