Dan hendaklah tuanku membilang rakyat sama banyak dengan rakyat tuanku yang telah dibunuh itu, dan orang berkudapun yang sama banyak dengan orang berkuda dahulu itu, dan rata perangpun sama banyak dengan rata perang dahulu itu, lalu biarlah patik sekalian memerangi mereka itu di padang, tak dapat tiada patik juga yang akan menang. Hata, maka dibenarkan baginda sembah mereka itu, lalu diperbuat baginda demikian.

thou hast lost: Heb. was fallen

and surely: Psalms 10:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And number thee an army like the army that thou hast lost,.... Raise an army of an equal number, which they supposed he was able to do:

horse for horse and chariot for chariot; as many horses and chariots as he had before:

and we will fight against them in the plain; where they could make use of their horses and chariots to greater advantage than on hills and mountains, see Judges 1:19

and surely we shall be stronger than they; and beat them:

and he hearkened unto their voice, and did so; took their counsel, and prepared an army, and placed captains in it instead of kings.
