The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Igitur considerato David populo suo, constituit super eos tribunos et centuriones,
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Δαυεὶδ τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיִּפְקֹ֣ד דָּוִ֔ד אֶת הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ וַיָּ֣שֶׂם עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם שָׂרֵ֥י אֲלָפִ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י מֵאֽוֹת

Haydock's commentary

Hundreds. Josephus only allows David 4000 men. But his army seems to have been pretty numerous, since he divides it into three parts, and appoints three head commanders, with officers of a thousand, &c., under them. See ver. 4. (Calmet)

He designed to lead them to battle himself, if the people had not dissuaded him. (Salien)
