Contextual Overview
10 A panic from Adonai seized all the kingdoms in the lands surrounding Y'hudah, so that they did not make war against Y'hoshafat. 11 Some of the P'lishtim brought Y'hoshafat gifts and silver as tribute; the Arabs too brought him flocks — 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats. 12 So Y'hoshafat grew increasingly powerful. In Y'hudah he built fortresses and storage cities. 13 He had many projects in the cities of Y'hudah; and in Yerushalayim he had warriors, strong brave men. 14 Here is a listing of them by clans: from Y'hudah, the captains of thousands: ‘Adnah the leader, and with him 300,000 strong, brave men; 15 next to him Y'hochanan the leader, and with him 280,000; 16 next to him ‘Amasyah the son of Zikhri, who volunteered to serve Adonai , and with him 200,000 strong, brave men. 17 From Binyamin: Elyada, a strong, brave man, and with him 200,000 equipped with bows and shields; 18 next to him Y'hozavad, and with him 180,000 prepared for war. 19 These served the king, in addition to those the king assigned to the fortified cities throughout all Y'hudah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri,.... He encamped next to him, as the Targum:
who willingly offered himself unto the Lord; to fight the Lord's battles, and without any stipend, as some think; or, as Kimchi, he offered gold and silver to the treasures of the house of the Lord:
and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour; the number was 80,000 less than the former; the whole of Judah amounted to 780,000 men.
