{1 Samuel 13:5} And the Philistines 6430 gathered themselves together 622 z8738 to fight 3898 z8736 with x5973 Israel, 3478 thirty 7970 thousand 505 chariots, 7393 and six 8337 thousand 505 horsemen, 6571 and people 5971 as the sand 2344 which x834 [is] on x5921 the sea 3220 shore 8193 in multitude: 7230 and they came up, 5927 z8799 and pitched 2583 z8799 in Michmash, 4363 eastward 6926 from Bethaven. 1007

thirty thousand chariots:
The Philistines had no doubt collected troops in this emergency, from all the surrounding nation; but the number of chariots is immensely large beyond any example, and wholly disproportioned to the number of their cavalry. It is probable, therefore, that for sheloshim aileph, "thirty thousand," we should read shelosh aileph, "three thousand," with the Syriac and Arabic.

as the sand:
"That¹ in blessingª ° I will blessª ° thee, and in multiplyingª ° I will multiplyª °¹ thy seedª as the starsª of the heaven,ª and as the sandª which¹ [is] upon¹ the seaª shore;ª and thy seedª shall possessª °¹ the gateª of his enemies;ª °" {Gen 22:17} + "And they went out,ª ° they¹ and all¹ their hostsª with¹ them, muchª people,ª even as the sandª that¹ [is] upon¹ the seaª shoreª in multitude,ª with horsesª and chariotsª veryª many.ª" {Jsh 11:4} + "And the Midianitesª and the Amalekites² ¹ and all¹ the childrenª of the eastª layª ° along in the valleyª like grasshoppersª for multitude;ª and their camelsª [were] without¹ number,ª as the sandª by¹ ¹ the seaª sideª for multitude.ª" {Jdg 7:12} + "Now,¹ O LORDª God,ª let thy promiseª unto¹ Davidª my fatherª be established:ª ° for¹ thou¹ hast made me kingª ° over¹ a peopleª like the dustª of the earthª in multitude.ª" {2Ch 1:9} + "Thy seedª also had been¹ as the sand,ª and the offspringª of thy bowelsª like the gravelª thereof; his nameª should not¹ have been cut offª ° nor¹ destroyedª ° from beforeª ¹ me." {Isa 48:19} + "Their widowsª are increasedª ° to me above the sandª ¹ of the seas:ª I have broughtª ° upon them against¹ the motherª of the young menª a spoilerª ° at noonday:ª I have caused [him] to fallª ° upon¹ it suddenly,ª and terrorsª upon the city.ª" {Jer 15:8} + "Esaiasª alsoª criethª ° concerningª Israel,ª Thoughª the¹ numberª of the¹ childrenª of Israelª beª ° asª the¹ sandª of the¹ sea,ª a remnantª shall be saved:ª °" {Rom 9:27}

Bethaven:
"So the LORDª savedª °¹ Israelª that¹ day:ª and the battleª passed overª ° unto¹ Bethaven.ª" {1Sm 14:23} + "And Joshuaª sentª ° men² ¹ from Jerichoª ¹ to Ai,ª which¹ [is] besideª Bethaven,ª on the east sideª ¹ of Bethel,ª and spakeª ° unto¹ them, saying,ª ° Go upª ° and viewª °¹ the country.ª And the men² ¹ went upª ° and viewedª °¹ Ai.ª" {Jsh 7:2} + "And their borderª on the northª sideª was¹ from¹ Jordan;ª and the borderª went upª ° to¹ the sideª of Jerichoª on the north² side,¹ ¹ and went upª ° through the mountainsª westward;ª and the goings outª thereof were¹ at the wildernessª of Bethaven.ª" {Jsh 18:12} + "Though¹ thou,¹ Israel,ª play the harlot,ª ° [yet] let not¹ Judahª offend;ª ° and comeª ° not¹ ye unto Gilgal,ª neither¹ go ye upª ° to Bethaven,ª nor¹ swear,ª ° The LORDª liveth.ª" {Hsa 4:15} + "Blowª ° ye the cornetª in Gibeah,ª [and] the trumpetª in Ramah:ª cry aloudª ° [at] Bethaven,ª afterª thee, O Benjamin.ª" {Hsa 5:8} + "The inhabitantsª of Samariaª shall fearª ° because of the calvesª of Bethaven:ª for¹ the peopleª thereof shall mournª ° over¹ it, and the priestsª thereof [that] rejoicedª ° on¹ it, for¹ the gloryª thereof, because¹ it is departedª ° from¹ it." {Hsa 10:5}
