Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 25:6

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

6. He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour . . . for an hundred talents of silver —This sum was paid into the treasury of Jehoahaz—not given as bounty to the mercenaries who were obliged to serve at the sovereign's call; their remuneration consisting only in the booty they might obtain. It was about £50,000 sterling, being 10 s. per man, including officers—a very paltry pay, compared with the bounty given for a soldier in this country. But it must be remembered that in ancient times campaigns were short and the hazards of the service comparatively small. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
