And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, etc.] He encamped next to him, as the Targum: who willingly offered himself unto the Lord; to fight the Lord’s battles, and without any stipend, as some think; or, as Kimchi, he offered gold and silver to the treasures of the house of the Lord: and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour; the number was 80,000 less than the former; the whole of Judah amounted to 780,000 men.
