And number thee an army like the army that thou hast lost, etc.] Raise an army of an equal number, which they supposed he was able to do: horse for horse and chariot for chariot; as many horses and chariots as he had before: and we will fight against them in the plain; where they could make use of their horses and chariots to greater advantage than on hills and mountains, (see <070119>Judges 1:19) and surely we shall be stronger than they; and beat them: and he hearkened unto their voice, and did so; took their counsel, and prepared an army, and placed captains in it instead of kings.
