3 So A·biʹjah engaged in the war with a military force of four hundred thousand mighty men of war,+ chosen men. And Jer·o·boʹam himself drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, valiant, mighty men.+

8 And Aʹsa came to have a military force bearing the large shield+ and lance,+ three hundred thousand out of Judah.+ And out of Benjamin those bearing the buckler and bending the bow+ were two hundred and eighty thousand.+ All these were valiant, mighty men.
