SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:29
Siete días tuvieron asentado campamento los unos delante de los otros, y al séptimo día se dio la batalla; y mataron los hijos de Israel de los sirios en un día cien mil hombres de a pie.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 20:29
Verse 29. Slew a hundred thousand footmen in one day.] This number is enormous; but the MSS. and versions give no various reading.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And they pitched one over against the other seven days , etc.] Very probably the Israelites pitched upon an hill, and the Syrians waited till they changed their position, not caring to fall upon them, though so very supernumerary to them, for the reason before given: and so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined ; or they that made war drew nigh, as the Targum, and both sides engaged in battle: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians 100,000 footmen in one day ; which was a prodigious slaughter to be made by so small an army; the hand of the Lord was visible in it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-30 - Those about Benhadad advised him to change his ground. They take it for granted that it was not Israel, but Israel's gods, that beat them; but they speak very ignorantly of Jehovah. They supposed that Israel ha many gods, to whom they ascribed limited power within a certai district; thus vain were the Gentiles in their imaginations concernin God. The greatest wisdom in worldly concerns is often united with the most contemptible folly in the things of God.
