Contextual Overview

10 And the feare of the Lorde fell vpon all the kingdomes of the landes that were rounde about Iuda, and they fought not against Iehosaphat. 11 And some of the Philistines brought Iehosaphat giftes, and tribute siluer, and therto the Arabians brought him cattaile, euen seuen thousand and seuen hundred rammes, and seuen thousand and seuen hundred hee goates. 12 And so Iehosaphat prospered, and grew vp an hie: And he built in Iuda castels and cities of store. 13 And he had great substaunce in the cities of Iuda: but the men of armes and strongest souldiers were in Hierusalem. 14 And these are the offices of them in the house of their fathers: the captaines ouer thousandes in Iuda, Adna the captayne, and with him of fighting men three hundred thousand. 15 And next to his hand was Iehohanan a captayne, and with him two hundred and fourescore thousand. 16 And next him was Amazia the sonne of Zichri, which of his owne good wyll offered him selfe vnto the Lorde, and with him two hundred thousand mightie men of warre. 17 And of the children of Beniamin, Eliada a man of might, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundred thousand. 18 And next him was Iehosabad, and with him an hundred and fourescore thousand, that were prepared for the warre. 19 These wayted on the king, besides those which the king put in the strong cities throughout all Iuda.

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.
