- καὶ ἔφυγεν Συρία ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀνεῖλεν Δαυεὶδ ἐκ τῆς Συρίας ἑπτακόσια ἅρματα καὶ τεσσεράκοντα χιλιάδας ἱππέων· καὶ Σωβὰκ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξεν, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.

Haydock's commentary
Hundred. Paralipomenon, thousand, allowing ten men for each chariot. (Du Hamel; Menochius)
The men is omitted in both texts. See chap. viii. 4. (Haydock)
Horsemen. Paralipomenon reads, footmen, supplying what is here omitted, (Salien) so that 87,000 Syrians perished, unless there be a mistake of the transcribers. (Calmet)
Smote, though not perhaps with his own hand, as he slew so many thousands by means of his army. (Menochius)
