And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven. (1 Samuel 13:5)
The Lucian text of the LXX and the Syriac read “three thousand.” The difference between the Hebrew words for 3 and 30 is slight, and one might easily be mistaken for the other.
