| II Chronicles 25:5
| Amasias, therefore, gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands, and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
| Families. The officers were well acquainted with their soldiers; (Calmet) and all were more interested for each other's welfare, (Du Hamel) than they are in the present system. (Calmet) --- Young. Protestants, "choice men, able to go." (Haydock)
