1 CHRONICLES 18:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.”
David captured from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand cavalry, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. David also hamstrung all the chariot horses except one hundred that he kept — specific numbers emphasize total victory. Hebrew 'aqar' (hamstrung) rendered captured chariots useless; keeping hundred prevented Israeli chariot-power excess.
