Exegesis
The multiplicative numerals šālôš mēʾōṯ ʾelep̄ {שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף | šā-lôš mē-ʾōṯ ʾe-lep̄} and māṭāyim ūšəmōnîm ʾelep̄ {מָאתַיִם וּשְׁמֹנִים אֶלֶף | mā-ṭā-yim ū-šə-mō-nîm ʾe-lep̄} reflect Hebrew’s hundred-by-thousand system. Participial pairs nōsəʾē + māgēn and ve-dōrḵê + qešeṯ are rendered as “shield bearers” and “bow wielders.”
In context — 2 Chronicles 14:8
And Asa had an army bearing large shields and spears from Judah—300,000—and from Benjamin, shield bearers and bowmen, 280,000; all were mighty warriors .
