1 SAMUEL 11:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.”
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand — Saul assembles the army at Bezek, east of the Jordan. The numbers—300,000 from Israel proper, 30,000 from Judah—suggest a massive mobilization. Whether historically accurate or idealized, the numbers indicate Saul's ability to command the nation's military resources.
