Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots,.... Or "therefore" he gathered them together, which might lie some in one place, and some in another, for the better quartering of the men that belonged to them:
[even] nine hundred chariots of iron; and which, as before observed, are magnified by Josephus, and made to be three thousand;
and all the people that [were] with him; his soldiers, Jabin's army, of which he was captain, and are called a multitude, Judges 4:7; and which, the above writer says h, consisted of three hundred thousand foot, and ten thousand horse, besides the iron chariots: these he collected together, and brought with him,
from Harosheth of the Gentiles; the place where he resided with his army, Judges 4:2;
unto the river of Kishon; which was near Mount Tabor, the rendezvous of Barak and his men, see Judges 4:6.
