Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Samuel 24:9

_ _ Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king — The amount here stated, compared with 1 Chronicles 21:5, gives a difference of three hundred thousand. The discrepancy is only apparent, and admits of an easy reconciliation; thus (see 1 Chronicles 27:1-15), there were twelve divisions of generals, who commanded monthly, and whose duty was to keep guard on the royal person, each having a body of troops consisting of twenty-four thousand men, which, together, formed an army of two hundred eighty-eight thousand; and as a separate detachment of twelve thousand was attendant on the twelve princes of the twelve tribes mentioned in the same chapter, so both are equal to three hundred thousand. These were not reckoned in this book, because they were in the actual service of the king as a regular militia. But 1 Chronicles 21:5 joins them to the rest, saying, “all those of Israel were one million, one hundred thousand”; whereas the author of Samuel, who reckons only the eight hundred thousand, does not say, “all those of Israel,” but barely “and Israel were,” etc. It must also be observed that, exclusive of the troops before mentioned, there was an army of observation on the frontiers of the Philistines’ country, composed of thirty thousand men, as appears from 2 Samuel 6:1; which, it seems, were included in the number of five hundred thousand of the people of Judah by the author of Samuel. But the author of Chronicles, who mentions only four hundred seventy thousand, gives the number of that tribe exclusive of those thirty thousand men, because they were not all of the tribe of Judah, and therefore he does not say, “all those of Judah,” as he had said, “all those of Israel,” but only, “and those of Judah.” Thus both accounts may be reconciled [Davidson].
