Contextual Overview
9And I speak to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you by myself; 10your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens for multitude; 11YHWH, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as you [are], one thousand times, and blesses you as He has spoken to you. 12How do I bear your pressure, and your burden, and your strife by myself? 13Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads; 14and you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good to do.15And I take the heads of your tribes, wise men that are known, and I appoint them [as] heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities for your tribes. 16And I command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner; 17you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard it. 18And I command you at that time all the things which you do.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And ye answered me and said,.... As the speech of Moses to the people is not expressed before, so neither this answer of theirs to him:
the thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do; to look out for and present persons to him as before described; this they saw was for their own good and profit, as well as for the ease of Moses, and therefore readily agreed to it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This appointment of the âcaptainsâ (compare Exodus 18:21 ff) must not be confounded with that of the elders in Numbers 11:16 ff. The former would number 78,600; the latter were 70 only.
A comparison between this passage and that in Exodus makes it obvious that Moses is only touching on certain parts of the whole history, without regard to order of time, but with a special purpose. This important arrangement for the good government of the people took place before they left Horeb to march direct to the promised land. This fact sets more clearly before us the perverseness and ingratitude of the people, to which the orator next passes; and shows, what he was anxious to impress, that the fault of the 40 yearsâ delay rested only with themselves!
