Exegesis
The construct phrase sarei ha'alafim {שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים | śārê hāʾălāp̄îm} ‘officers of the thousands,’ paired with the coordinated vehammeot {וְהַמֵּאוֹת | wə-hammêʾōṯ} ‘and the hundreds,’ forms a hierarchical merism.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:1
David took counsel with the commanders overseeing the thousands and the hundreds, together with every leader .
