The totals given here differ somewhat from the totals in 2 Sam. 24:9. These totals are as follows:

	Chronicles	Samuel
Israel	1,100,000	800,000
Judah	470,000	500,000
Total	1,570,000	1,300,000

 It is possible that the figure in Chronicles of 1,100,000 includes the total of David’s standing army, 288,000 men (ch. 27:1-15). In round numbers this would be 300,000 men, which, added to the 800,000 of Samuel, would make 1,100,000. The 500,000 of Samuel for Judah may also be a round number for the chronicler’s more exact figure of 470,000 (see further on 2 Sam. 24:9). The number of warriors in Israel had increased considerably since the Exodus, when the total, excluding Levites, stood at 603,550 (Num. 1:46). See Introduction to Chronicles.
