And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour. (2 Chronicles 14:8)
Compare ch. 13:3. Probably this was not the size of Asa’s standing army but constituted the number of males in the nation, capable of bearing arms, who would be available in case of emergency.
