Contextual Overview

10The terror of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so they didn’t fight against Jehoshaphat. 11Some of the Philistines also brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat, and the Arabs brought him flocks: 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats. 12Jehoshaphat grew stronger and stronger. He built fortresses and storage cities in Judah 13and carried out great works in the towns of Judah. He had fighting men, valiant warriors, in Jerusalem. 14These are their numbers according to their ancestral families. For Judah, the commanders of thousands: 15next to him, Jehohanan the commander and two hundred eighty thousand with him;16next to him, Amasiah son of Zichri, the volunteer of the Lord, and two hundred thousand valiant warriors with him; 17from Benjamin, Eliada, a valiant warrior, and two hundred thousand with him armed with bow and shield; 18next to him, Jehozabad and one hundred eighty thousand with him equipped for war. 19These were the ones who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout all 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.
