Contextual Overview

10 And the fear of Jehovah was on all the kingdoms of the lands around Judah; and they did not fight with Jehoshaphat. 11 And from the Philistines, they were bringing in a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver as tribute. Also, the Arabians were bringing flocks to him, seven thousand, seven hundred rams; and seven thousand, seven hundred he goats. 12 And Jehoshaphat went on to be greater, exceedingly. And he built fortresses and store cities in Judah. 13 And there was much work for him in the cities of Judah. And the men of war, mighty men of valor, resided in Jerusalem. 14 And these were their numbers, for the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the commanders of thousands, Adnah the chief, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor. 15 And on his hand, Jehohanan the chief, and two hundred and eighty thousand with him. 16 And on his hand, Amasiah the son of Zichri, who volunteered himself to Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. 17 And of Benjamin, Eliada a mighty man, and two hundred thousand armed men with bow and shield with him. 18 And on his hand, Jehozabad; and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready for war. 19 These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities in all Judah.

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.
