Lalu Amazia mengumpulkan orang Yehuda dan menyuruh mereka, yakni seluruh orang Yehuda dan Benyamin, berdiri menurut puak-puaknya di bawah kepala-kepala pasukan seribu dan kepala-kepala pasukan seratus. Ketika ia menghitung mereka yang berumur dua puluh tahun ke atas, didapatinya tiga ratus ribu teruna yang sanggup keluar berperang dengan tombak dan perisai.
Maka Amaziapun menghimpunkanlah segala orang Yehuda, ditaruhnya mereka itu sekalian, seturut isi rumah bapa-bapanya, di bawah beberapa penghulu atas orang seribu dan beberapa penghulu atas orang seratus, segenap orang Yehuda dan orang Benyamin; maka dibilangnya akan mereka itu dari pada yang dua puluh tahun umurnya dan lebih, didapatinya akan bilangan mereka itu tiga ratus ribu orang pilihan, yang tahu perang dan bersenjatakan lembing dan perisai.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together,.... The inhabitants thereof:
and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; he divided the people, according to their families throughout his kingdom, into thousands and hundreds, and out of their respective families appointed captains over them:
and he numbered them from twenty years old and above; the usual age men were numbered at for war, to the fiftieth, according to Josephus; the Roman law a obliged none to be soldiers after fifty, nor might any be dismissed before b; the age of military men with the Romans was from seventeen to forty six, or, as some, forty five; but with the Persians from twenty as here to fifty c:
and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield; which shows that their number was greatly decreased since the times of Jehoshaphat, 2 Chronicles 17:14, occasioned by the wars under Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Joash; some copies of the Vulgate Latin d have only 30,000.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Three hundred thousand - Asa’s army had been nearly twice as numerous, amounting to 580, 000 2 Chronicles 14:8. The diminution was due, in part, to wars 2Ch 21:8, 2 Chronicles 21:16; 2 Chronicles 24:23-24; in part, to the general decadence of the kingdom.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 25:5. Gathered Judah together — He purposed to avenge himself of the Syrians, but wished to know his military strength before he came to a rupture.
