Exegesis
The coordinating wa-ʿăseret {וַעֲשֶׂ֥רֶת | wa-ʿăseret} ‘and ten’ links with ʼālāp̄îm {אֲלָפִ֖ים | ʼālāp̄îm} ‘thousands’, followed by the direct-object marker ʾet-ʾîš {אֶת־אִ֥ישׁ | ʾet-ʾîš} specifying the men of the clan yəhūḏā {יְהוּדָֽה | yəhūḏā}. This parallel enumeration underscores Saul’s systematic military organization and distinguishes the general levy from the contingent contributed by Judah.
In context — 1 Samuel 15:4
And Saul summoned the people and mustered them at Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah .
