Barnes' Notes
The men of Judah served as heavy-armed troops, while the Benjamites were light-armed. Their numbers accord well with those of II Chronicles 13:3. As the boundaries of Judah had been enlarged II Chronicles 13:19, and as for ten years at least there had been no war II Chronicles 14:1, the effective force had naturally increased. It was 400, 000; it is now 580, 000.
