Exegesis
The number expression shemonah asar alef {שְׁמוֹנָ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר אָֽלֶף׃ | šəmōnāh ʿāśār ʾālep̄} uses additive numerals (“eight” + “ten”) followed by the scale word “thousand,” yielding “eighteen thousand,” which English naturally renders as a single summed figure.
In context — 1 Chronicles 18:12
And Abshai struck down Edom in the Valley of Salt , eighteen thousand.
