Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter,.... As they fled, pursuing them:
so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men; such a slaughter as is not to be met with in any history, as Josephus s observes; though Abarbinel wonders he should say so, and affirms that he had read of larger numbers slain at once; but he is the only man that ever pretended to it; Jerom t makes the number but 50,000, and some copies of the Vulgate Latin u, and Josephus Ben Gorion, as Abarbinel w relates; but the true Josephus, the Targum, and all the ancient versions, agree with the Hebrew text; more than half Jeroboam's army was cut off, and 100,000 more than Abijah had in his.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Slain - The word means strictly “pierced,” and will include both the killed and the wounded. It is translated “wounded” in Lamentations 2:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 13:17. Slain - five hundred thousand chosen men. — Query, fifty thousand? This was a great slaughter: 2 Chronicles 13:3, where all these numbers are supposed to be overcharged.
