Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

three hundred: The slain of Israel, though greatly exceeding those of Judah, were not great. This might be owing to the directions given by David, to be as lenient as possible; but the death of Asahel seems to have stopped the pursuers, and greatly favoured the escape of the vanquished. 2 Samuel 3:1, 1 Kings 20:11

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 18:7 - twenty thousand men

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and Abner's men,.... Of those of the tribe of Benjamin that joined him, and of those that he brought with him from Mahanaim; so many of them were smitten, as appeared by their bodies lying on the field of battle,

[so that] three hundred and threescore men died; the number of the slain on each side was very unequal.
