The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): qui habuit quadraginta filios, et triginta ex eis nepotes, ascendentes super septuaginta pullos asinarum. Et judicavit Israël octo annis :
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τεσσεράκοντα υἱοὶ καὶ τριάκοντα υἱῶν υἱοί, ἐπιβαίνοντες ἐπὶ ἑβδομήκοντα πώλους· καὶ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ὀκτὼ ἔτη.
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִי ל֞וֹ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים בָּנִ֗ים וּשְׁלֹשִׁים֙ בְּנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים רֹכְבִ֖ים עַל שִׁבְעִ֣ים עֲיָרִ֑ם וַיִּשְׁפֹּ֥ט אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שְׁמֹנֶ֥ה שָׁנִֽים

Haydock's commentary

Forty sons. At this we need not be surprised, in a country where polygamy prevailed. Priam had 50 sons, and the Turks have often as many.

Colts. This was as great a distinction as to keep one's coach among us, chap. x. 4. (Calmet)

This judge succeeded Ahialon, in the year of the world 2872, in the year before Christ 1182, the year after Troy was taken, having endured a ten years' siege, by the treachery of Antenor, and of Æneas, Dictys, &c. Dares says the Greeks lost 886,000, and the Trojans 676,000, before the city was taken. (Salien)
