What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, etc.] Being of the same rank as to office, but having a lesser number of men under him; and it may respect not any kind of subordination, only nearness of place, as the Targum, “he that encamped next to him” and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand; which number was but 20,000 less than the former.”
